Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

Recommended
I would recommend this book as a Junior Theme Book. It has themes of technology, religion and how we perceive "the truth". I think the book overall isn't difficult, but a lot of the story can feel like it side tracks to other random topics with little focus at times.

Summary
The book is about John/Jonah and how he is writing a book called "The Day the World Ended". As the title foreshadows, it explains an apocalyptic tale of modern men and their madness. It recounts Jonah's experiences and research for his book and the purpose for why he wrote it.

Who would be interested in this book?
You would like this book if you enjoy a lot of randomness, you like thinking about technology and how it influences us, and the impact of "fictional science".
