CAT'S CRADLE - Kurt Vonnegut
A literary "Doctor Strangelove", very funny in parts and abit over the top in others for me but clever and sharp as is all of Vonngut's writing.
A book of its time written right at the start of the 'cold war' when genuine fears abounded about the end of the world through super powers with weapons.
(1963)
