Book Synopsis

?A funny, savage appraisal of a totally automated American society of the future.??San Francisco Chronicle

Kurt 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 supercomputer and run completely by machines. Paul?s rebellion is vintage Vonnegut?wildly funny, deadly serious, and terrifyingly close to reality.

Praise for Player Piano

?His black logic . . . gives us something to laugh about and much to fear.??The New York Times Book Review
