Helpful Score: 3

This is truly a fun story told only as Vonnegut could. Placing his narrator (whom is a relation of his recurring character Kilgore Trout) one million years in the future, where man has evolved into a oceanic species with none of the marks of intelligence we know today. It tells the tale of the beginning of the end civilization and the survivors that would be modern man's (of one million years from 1986) forbears. Our narrator also tells us that it is our "over-sized brains" that cause all of our problems. At times startlingly cautionary and always entertaining, any Vonnegut fan would love this read.
