Hard for me to believe that - it has so much happening here and so much to say about how people derive meaning and sense of identity. In some ways, the science fiction elements haven't aged well (he couldn't predict self-driving cars despite all the other tasks automated?), and there are some troubling gender politics. But I recommend it for both dystopia fans and Vonnegut fans. As always, there are some turns of phrase that capture an entire philosophy in 9 words. ( ) What happens when most jobs are replaced by automation? Player Piano warns us of a different kind of dystopia -- one where everyone has food, and homes and material possessions, where technology is advancing in leaps and bounds, but also, where a divide has been created between those who can be replaced by machines and those who thrive. The novel does a great job of raising important questions about increased classism and job instability for displaced workers. Certainly not my favorite Vonnegut book, but that seems to be the theme. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

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 super computer and run completely by machines. His rebellion is a wildly funny, darkly satirical look at modern society. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
