BOOK REVIEW: PLAYER PIANO (1952) * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
Kurt Vonnegut's First Novel is remarkably prescient. He anticipates the information revolution almost precisely asking the exact same challenging questions that we are asking today about our loss of privacy because so much of our personal information is stored in the global computer network. The writing style is also far ahead of its time. It doesn't have Vonnegut's distinctive staccato style, but it does sound like it was written very recently, instead of more than fifty years ago. Unfortunately, there really isn't very much to the actual story itself of the protagonist's struggle to regain his individuality.
