It's always a joy going back to read an old Vonnegut story you've read before. New insights always abound. And it's usually better than you remember.

I picked this one up specifically because it was mentioned in a history of cybernetics I was reading. Very interesting when you know a few additional facts that Vonnegut was well aware of but I was not.

Can't believe this was written in '52. As relevant as ever.
