Özet

Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

it's a decent audiobook, narrator is decent but.
I compare the story with catch 22 hence a bit disappointed, the style is poorer but the book compensate with the absurdity of the story.

I expected more

To maintain my capacity to reread and perpetually reexamine life in the Socratic way my own existence along with lifelong literary learning at my age, is a most comforting experience. I myself having lived through the immense changes of the 20th century and now two decades into this new millennium, of which I, this sentient being, have witnessed, observed and thankfully not lost, the immense memory or interest that mankind and womankind are sadly and collectively losing the hold of through the inception of this so-called "progress of intelligence" by way of technology and science, which is, in my own humble opinion the recapitulation of failure, the ability to think and not be fooled into the collective innocently ignorant popular consensus?.
When will humanity stop and think collectively? Is it a perpetually incomplete trait that sentient beings may never address? Will there be no understanding of our own perpetual innocent ignorance that which only a few thinkers are capable of achieving?
Sadly I say that one sumises humanity is 'losing' the ability to inculcate safely and humanely and without prejudice a for or against collective understanding that no one knows anything and will never do so.
Most innocence moves through the fog of power, science and religion, the foundations of all ignorance, baseless and perpetually built and destroyed and rebuilt and yet still one witnesses that it remains in all innocence, perpetual.

Vonnegut makes me laugh. The world he creates is ridiculous, but equally it has all the foibles and cruelty of the real world. For fun, and to add to the despair there is the religion of Bokononism. A religion that is hypocritical, false and cruel. A religion that offers some sense of acceptance of life, but only if we accept that it's falseness is the only solution to the madness that men perpetrate. The Cat's Cradle is the metaphor for the world of the book; playful, complex; a trick.The reading of the audiobook is not too cynical and not too flat; just right.

The reader's sardonic tone perfectly fits this classic novel. This was a very enjoyable listen.

Very well read book.
