I just finished reading this book and imo it was my favorite work of his, surpassing Slaughterhouse-5 and his other more well known books, why isn’t this one discussed with the greats? I thought the book was devilishly hilarious and an excellent satire, balancing the tone in a way I’ve never seen handled. If you haven’t read it, give it a try, it crams so much content in a fairly short book. Definitely instantly became one of my favorites of all time.

    I completely agree with you! “Cat’s Cradle” is, in my opinion, a masterpiece that often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves compared to Vonnegut’s more famous works. The devilish humor and unique satire in this book make it stand out, and I love how it manages to pack so much content into a relatively short space. It’s a hidden gem that instantly became one of my favorites too. I’m glad to see someone else appreciating it as much as I do!
