This long-awaited volume brings together the finest of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr."s, shorter works. Sex, machines, pills, men, women, society, good, evil, outer space, inner space, time past, present and future, are among the subjects infused with the fascinating, fantastic and formidable Vonnegut magic.

Better than any other book, it displays the enormous range of the author's extraordinary creative vision.
