Description
Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle is a darkly comedic tale of global apocalypse. Dr Felix Hoenikker's invention of Ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet, sets off a chain reaction that threatens humanity's very existence.
The story follows the search for Ice-nine and its catastrophic consequences, as well as the personal struggles of Hoenikker's eccentric children. With its unique blend of satire and science fiction, Cat's Cradle explores our deepest fears of witnessing the end and surviving it.
