All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies'. Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding fathers of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy to the world. For he is the inventor of Ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet. The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three eccentric children, to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean, to madness. Will Felix Hoenikker's death wish come true? Will his last, fatal gift to humankind bring about the end that, for all of us, is nigh? Told with deadpan humour and bitter irony, Kurt Vonnegut's cult tale of global apocalypse preys on our deepest fears of witnessing the end and, worse still, surviving it...
猫的摇篮是攀(翻)花绳的一个花式,一个游戏。 冰9,一种使水原子排列,锁定,冻结的新方式。 以某种让你又勇敢又仁慈又健康又快乐的谎言为信条而生活吧 ——《博克侬经卷》 掸去墓碑上的冻雨,露出逝者的名字。 他两腿跪在我身边的地毯上,对我露出他的牙齿,在我眼前晃动那...
评分好像最近时常看到冯内古特的名字,于是找到了我能找到的唯一一本中文译本《猫的摇篮》。看的时候总是不禁赞叹这是本奇怪的书,犹如做梦般,思绪还来不及想接下来的事,各种巧合般令人惊讶的故事便顺应而来,通篇流畅又离奇。每个片段都是故事中必要的存在,可是抽离出来又能自...
评分通常对这部书的评论是,在科幻小说的外壳中讽刺现实。作者被归为黑色幽默一类的。《猫的摇篮》是他的代表作之一。 书名“猫的摇篮”,是一种绳圈游戏(就是小时候玩的挑花线、挑绳)里的一种样式。 小说里有几个很经典的角色。 科学家霍尼克尔:一个科研怪才,...
评分这本书过于cynical,不是特别对我的味。换个角度,对照现在的世界来看本书表现的主题,可以很明显的感觉出,从作者成书到现在,人类社会发生了巨大转变。并不是说这本书的主题已不是当今社会的status quo,但这确实是一本典型的冷战时期的书。 全书有两个重要主题:对科学不负...

"What Can a Thoughtful Man Hope for Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Past Million Years?" "Nothing." Any advice then? Just "grin horribly."
评分No damn cat. No damn cradle. 冯的语言很简练,嘲讽技能和冷幽默臻于化境。
评分A history of human stupidity.
评分Cat’s Cradle有趣的dystopian小说 科学宗教 殖民主义 性别问题等等 把各种严肃的议题和隐喻写得无比辛辣尖刻 而且非常幽默诙谐 是可怜可悲又可笑的幽默 夹杂着心酸和悲悯 像vonnegut自己说的 绝望发出的笑 “A fish pitched up, By the angry sea, I grasped on land, And I became me.” “Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.”
评分A history of human stupidity.
