Negative Positive
Title: One of my favorite Vonnegut books.
Review: Having wrote this book decades before many of his better known works, it has a different personality and vibe than the others. There are no references to other planets or aliens, and this seems more of a philosophical and political book about a universe that is easily envisioned even for our own future should one have utilitarian tendencies in their thoughts. A fascinating premise, interesting universe, but a bit of a disappointing ending. A character with vague but strong anti-establishment convictions loses everything and is so willing to be led by an eccentric man he met at a bar and a college friend, yet gives up after a brief struggle. This didn't make a lot of sense to me. Notwithstanding this, it was one of my favorites by this author if only for the fascinating universe he creates, but also because of the compelling story which ends quite anti-climactically.
