Player Piano

By Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Avon Books © 1968

A novel of tomorrow, this story, originally published in 1952, is based on the concerns and needs of today. It is the story of life in Illium, New York, where people have been replaced by machines.

The computer revolution has conquered man, granting him dreariness and boredom. Dr. Paul Proteus revolts against the new electronic age, and the novel takes a strange, hilarious turn toward an incredible climax.

Harper's magazine has said of Vonnegut: "From the start of his novelistic career to the present, Vonnegut has been a man with a unique vision seeking and finally finding the most effective manner of stating it."
