"Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut is a dystopian novel that critiques the increasing automation of society and the dehumanizing effects of technological advancement. Set in a near-future world where machines have taken over almost all forms of labor, the novel centers on Dr. Paul Proteus, an engineer working for the Ilium Works, one of the major corporate centers overseeing this automated world. In this society, most manual laborers have been replaced by machines, and the remaining human workers are either engineers or managers overseeing the machines, while the rest of society is left jobless and purposeless. Paul begins to question the system he works for, grappling with his role in perpetuating a world that strips people of their dignity and humanity.
