Never dared to ask: is Vonneguth a cyberpunk author?
- Jtsummers 5y agoVonnegut. No h. Which book? I’ve read most of his novels and most of what’s considered cyberpunk (well, nothing recent though). I can’t think of any of his books that would fit the cyberpunk genre. Closest might be Player Piano which hits a few of the themes, but isn’t really cyberpunk and is more dystopian.
- __s 5y agoHarrison Bergeron involves the opposite of cyber augmentations He definitely writes with enough cynicism towards technology to fit the genre
- MichaelMoser123 5y agoSlapstick?
- Jtsummers 5y agoThat’s actually among the few I haven’t gotten to yet so I couldn’t comment on it.
- MichaelMoser123 5y agomaybe books by Vonnegut don't qualify, but Kilgore Trouts stuff does.
- MichaelMoser123 5y agoalso, in 'cat's cradle' - ice nine and the whole RAMJAC corporation in 'jailbird' ?
