Player Piano Kurt Vonnegut Jr Book
by Kurt Vonnegut Jr

Storyline

“A funny, savage appraisal of a totally automated American society of the future.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Kurt Vonnegut’s first novel spins the chilling tale of engineer Paul Proteus, who must find a way to live in a world dominated by a supercomputer and run completely by machines. Paul’s rebellion is vintage Vonnegut—wildly funny, deadly serious, and terrifyingly close to reality.

“His black logic . . . gives us something to laugh about and much to fear.”—The New York Times Book Review
