�A funny, savage appraisal of a totally automated American society of the future.��San Francisco Chronicle

Kurt Vonnegut�s first novel spins the chilling tale of engineer Paul Proteus, who must find a way to live in a world dominated by a supercomputer and run completely by machines. Paul�s rebellion is vintage Vonnegut�wildly funny, deadly serious, and terrifyingly close to reality.

Praise for Player Piano

�An exuberant, crackling style . . . Vonnegut is a black humorist, fantasist and satirist, a man disposed to deep and comic reflection on the human dilemma.��Life

�His black logic . . . gives us something to laugh about and much to fear.��The New York Times Book Review
