Set in a dystopian United States following a devastating global conflict, society has become completely automated. Machines and supercomputers perform all the work, dividing the nation between a small ruling elite of engineers and managers, and a vast, impoverished underclass stripped of purpose and pride. Paul Proteus is the successful manager of the massive Ilium Works, seemingly destined for a brilliant corporate career. However, as he witnesses the crushing psychological toll this machine-driven world takes on ordinary citizens, Paul begins to question his own position and the morality of the system. Eventually, he finds himself drawn into a dangerous and chaotic rebellion against the technocratic regime. Written with Vonnegut’s trademark dark humor, this prophetic debut novel explores the dehumanizing effects of unchecked technological advancement.
