Cat’s Cradle is a hilarious commentary on life during the Cold War, and a book that I would definitely recommend.
The story takes place in an alternate 1960s America, where the father of the atom bomb has created an even more powerful superweapon --simply because he was bored.
After entrusting the weapon to his children, the narrator, a journalist writing a book on the doctor, stumbles upon the secret and thus accidentally begins a quest to prevent life on earth from ceasing to exist.
I would recommend this book to fans of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books, as well as anyone who enjoys satirical and off-the-wall humour.
