This Library of America collection gathers Kurt Vonnegut's essential works from 1963-1973, including Cat's Cradle, Rosewater, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Breakfast of Champions. Through these interconnected novels and stories, Vonnegut explores war, free will, meaning, and the absurdity of human existence with dark humor and profound compassion. The collection becomes a comprehensive portrait of a writer who used science fiction and satire to grapple with the most serious questions about life and death.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Vonnegut understood that sometimes the only sane response to an insane world is laughter. These works remind us that the best science fiction isn't about the future, it's about using the fantastic to tell the truth about now.
