"Cat's Cradle" is the story of "ice nine" and its deadly implications it could have on humankind. Dr. Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding fathers of the atomic bomb, created an elusive substance called ice nine that has eluded experts for years. Following his death, no one knows what happened to ice nine nor what it even was. The narrator of the book is determined to uncover the truth, and he enlists the help of Hoenikker's children.
This was such an interesting novel and I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. The narrator ends up going on such a twisted adventure to uncover the truth about ice nine, and I never knew where he would end up next. I was also fascinated by the mystery around ice nine. What is it? How is it made? What would it mean to the world if it was unleashed? The human mind is capable of great things, and sometimes those things are better left in the human mind.
I will definitely be inclined to read from Kurt Vonnegut in the future.
