Description
"Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut is a satirical science fiction novel that explores themes of science, religion, and human folly. The story follows the narrator, Jonah (or John), as he attempts to write a book about the events surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb. His research leads him to the eccentric scientist Dr. Felix Hoenikker, one of the creators of the bomb, and eventually to the discovery of a deadly substance called Ice-Nine, which has the potential to freeze all the water on Earth. Jonah’s quest takes him to the fictional Caribbean island of San Lorenzo, where a strange religion called Bokononism governs the lives of the inhabitants. Vonnegut uses "Cat's Cradle" to satirize the dangers of scientific hubris, blind faith, and the absurdity of human behavior.
