Cat's Cradle

Cat's Cradle

When the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Dr. Heniker, the "father of the atomic bomb," was playing a roping game called "Cat's Cradle."
He is a scientific genius, but also an emotional moron.
He is extremely fanatical and cruel, but also extremely naive and indifferent.
He is a madman who treats science as a game and has no sense of morality.
But it is this madman who holds the remote control to destroy the world, time and time again.
Madmen destroy the world because we naively trust them, worship them, and hand over power to them.
【Editor's Recommendation】
◆The madman is destroying the world, but we naively expect him to save the world.
◆In "Cat's Cradle", there is no cat, no cradle, only a madman.
◆"The Joke Master of Hell" Vonnegut uses black humor to resist this absurd world!
◆Vonnegut only gave himself an A+ for two of his works in his lifetime, one of which was "Cat's Cradle".
◆This book is based on the Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry and creates the most representative "Frankenstein" in literary history.
◆Haruki Murakami, Atwood, Bolaño, Graham Greene, Doris Lessing, Satoshi Kon, Park Chan-wook, Mu Xin, Mai Jia... all love to read Vonnegut.
◆Open "Cat's Cradle" and see how terrible a world ruled by madmen is!
