Darkly funny, thought-provoking, and unforgettable - Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut is a cult classic that explores science, humanity, and the absurdity of the modern world.

When writer Jonah sets out to uncover the story behind the atomic bomb, his journey leads him to the late Dr Felix Hoenikker - the inventor of ice-nine, a substance capable of freezing the entire planet. Following a trail of clues, Jonah encounters Hoenikker’s eccentric children, a mysterious Caribbean island, and the strange religion of Bokononism.

Told with Vonnegut’s signature deadpan humour and sharp satire, Cat’s Cradle is both funny and unsettling - a clever reflection on human folly, scientific responsibility, and the fragility of the world we live in.
