Sirens Titan science fiction classic & precursor to

A deep and meaningful masterpiece of science fiction, full of heart and mindbending ideas. A true classic, Vonnegut will make you laugh and have you contemplating the meaning of lifeWhen Winston Niles Rumfoord flies his spaceship into a chronosynclastic infundibulum he is converted into pure energy and only materializes when his waveforms intercept Earth or some other planet. As a result, he only gets home to Newport, Rhode Island, once every fiftynine days and then only for an hour. But at least, as a consolation, he now knows everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will be. He knows, for instance, that his wife is going to Mars to mate with Malachi Constant, the richest man in the world. He also knows that on Titan one of Saturns moons is an alien from the planet Tralfamadore, who has been waiting 200,000 years for a spare part for his grounded spacecraft . . .Readers love The Sirens of TitanA truly exceptional work by a truly exceptional author expressing some exceptionally powerful ideas Goodreads reviewer, Vonnegut uses the absurd to explore what makes us human . . .
