Best short story I ever read in high school. Completely chilling and believable in its context, and makes me worry about the future. Super quick to read, but will think about it for a long time to come. I need to read more Vonnegut.
Vonnegut at his pithy, snarky, best. One rather obvious solution to making society more equal is to handicap anyone who excels. It isn't a good solution, however.
