Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

The truth was written. Then it was removed. When reclusive novelist Julian Vale vanishes days before publishing his most dangerous manuscript, disgraced investigative journalist Mara Thorne is drawn into a case that was never meant to be solved. What begins as a missing-person inquiry becomes a confrontation with a system designed not to erase truth—but to neutralize it. Vale’s final work hinted at an invisible network shaping narratives, careers, and memory itself.

Marcus Hale believes he’s a good neighbor. He keeps his yard neat. He minds his business. And when something unsettling happens next door late one night, he convinces himself it isn’t his problem. But silence has consequences. As small omissions begin to pile up, Marcus is forced to reckon with what it means to witness something—and choose not to act. The truth doesn’t arrive all at once. It settles in slowly, tightening with every rationalization.

What if the reflection staring back at you wasn’t really yours? Evan Cole lives a life built on routine. The same train. The same seat. The same quiet ride home every night. Until the evening his reflection doesn’t move when he does. At first, he tells himself it’s stress. Fatigue. A trick of light in the glass. But when the world begins to freeze around him — and the reflection keeps watching — Evan realizes something is following him. Studying him. Waiting.

Claire Benton downloads an anonymous confession app to vent about her marriage. It listens. It responds. It remembers. Soon, the app knows things it shouldn’t—names she never gave, secrets she never spoke, conversations that haven’t happened yet. When Claire hears her husband’s private confessions replayed without his consent, she realizes the app isn’t just listening. It’s modeling behavior. Predicting outcomes. Adjusting lives.

What if your memories weren’t yours—and the crimes tied to them were never confessed? Nathan Cole thought he understood his past. Then a violent breach inside a hidden research facility reveals a truth he was never meant to uncover: He isn’t the first version of himself. Buried beneath steel corridors and locked chambers lies a secret decades in the making—human experiments, fractured identities, and a man erased from history to create something new.

She knows things only Emily would know. But she doesn’t recognize the house. And she’s terrified of being found. As Liam pulls at the threads of her impossible return, he uncovers evidence of a secret research program built around memory manipulation, human “versions,” and a buried experiment that never ended.

Cat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat's Cradle is one of this century's most important works...and Vonnegut at his very best.

The richest, most depraved man on Earth, Malachi Constant, is offered a chance to take a space journey to distant worlds with a beautiful woman at his side. Of course, there's a catch to the invitation...

Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Galapagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave new, and totally different, human race.

Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Few perspectives epitomize the sheer drama and sacrifice of combat more perfectly than those of the fighter pilots of World War II. As romanticized as any soldier in history, the World War II fighter pilot was viewed as larger than life: a dashing soul waging war amongst the clouds. In the 65-plus years since the Allied victory, stories of these pilots' heroics have never been in short supply. But what about their adversaries - the highly skilled German aviators who pushed the Allies to the very brink of defeat?

Als Winston Niles Rumfoord sein Raumschiff in ein chrono-synklastisches Infidibulum flog, wurde er in pure Energie verwandelt. Er wird nur dann wieder stofflich, wenn seine Energiewelle einen Planeten kreuzt – also materialisiert er sich alle 59 Tage in seiner Heimat Newport, Rhode Island, und das auch nur für eine Stunde. Aber immerhin weiß er jetzt alles über alles, was je geschehen ist und je geschehen wird.

I had an uncle who left his hometown and the family business there to become a fine actor. His talent was a minor one, but a pretty one. It lasted for 15 years and was gone. He came home with the ashes of it and died 20 years later, poor and, as it happened, drunk.
