Too much to unpack in a quick comment, but I think it’s very important that we all give this a view. Well worth your 20-minutes, or I’ll pay you back. Somehow.

Had always thought of Vonnegut as far before my time, like, my mother’s time. Guess he sorta was, but his last book came out in 2005!

Anyway, my 12-yo daughter was looking at some “special” stuff at the thrift store today. “Is this like really old? Like, from the 90s?” Shoot me now. At least she recognized an IBM XT as one if the first personal computers. (I think she heard me lecturing my wife on the subject.) So it goes.

    I don’t think Vonnegut will ever be irrelevant to a given time. Maybe not everything he wrote, or said, but there’s a lot of his stuff that’s applicable to the human condition.
