Player Piano: A Novel

<p><b>“A funny, savage appraisal of a totally automated American society of the future.”—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br><br>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.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>Player Piano</i></b><br><br>“An exuberant, crackling style . . . Vonnegut is a black humorist, fantasist and satirist, a man disposed to deep and comic reflection on the human dilemma.”<b>—<i>Life</i></b><br><br> “His black logic . . . gives us something to laugh about and much to fear.”<b>—<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b></p>
