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...
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...

評分这书有两个译本 一个是江西人民出版社的老版,还有一个译林的新版 网上也有在线阅读``基本和正版书靠不上谱 故事本身是很有意思的。 两种版本对照来看,则会觉得两者都有很大问题。

◎馮古內特極其善於用幽默消解、諷刺愚蠢的事,這種幽默是極其聰明的,相比於我這種不入流的寫作者,他不會用明晃晃的觀點刺傷你,他仿佛隨意笑著扔瞭幾顆豆子,然後豆子落地拔起入雲的藤蔓,枝叉上穿滿瞭愚蠢的心。
评分"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Cat’s Cradle有趣的dystopian小說 科學宗教 殖民主義 性彆問題等等 把各種嚴肅的議題和隱喻寫得無比辛辣尖刻 而且非常幽默詼諧 是可憐可悲又可笑的幽默 夾雜著心酸和悲憫 像vonnegut自己說的 絕望發齣的笑 “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Man is vile, and man makes nothing worth making, knows nothing worth knowing.
评分Bought in London, finished in London.
