What: In Cat's Cradle, the satirically inclined author Kurt Vonnegut skewers (and sideways-celebrates) religion, science, government, and technology. Ingredients include a new religion, a deadly environmental weapon, and a fictional Caribbean island.
Representative quote: "People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say."
Bonus representation quote: "As Bokonon says: 'Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from god.'"
