Was just thinking to myself how Player Piano has never been more appropriate than the AI age we’re in such a hurry to usher in.
Agree. It's just not a very good Vonnegut novel though. You can see him without (yet) a voice in the novel.
If "Breakfast of Champions" is a little too nutty though, I think I might like his "Mother Night" best. (But maybe we like nutty Kurt?)
