ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. follows the narrator's quest to write a book about what important Americans did on the day the atomic bomb was dropped. This leads him to the family of Dr. Felix Hoenikker, one of the bomb's creators, and introduces the reader to the concept of a karass and the religion of Bokononism. The story unfolds through a series of interconnected events, leading the narrator to the island of San Lorenzo where he becomes entangled in a plot involving a powerful substance called ice-nine, which is capable of freezing water and other liquids. The novel explores themes of fate versus free will, the dangers of scientific advancement without regard for consequences, and the absurd nature of human existence, all while using satirical humor.
