In a fit of madness, (or was it self improvement?) I decided to educate myself on Kurt Vonnegut. I bought Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle & The Sirens of Titan.
Vonnegut is a very engaging writer. He writes deceptively simple books for someone
Vonnegut has a regular theme in his books on the limitations of free will. If you can see into the future, then do you have free will? If someone from the future tells you of your future, then do you have free will? Are you still responsible for your actions? If you have implanted happy memories, then have you lived a happy life?
