I enjoyed reading this story because I have always enjoyed reading books like this. The book would allow students to think from another perspective and look into the future to predict what else could happen.
pickThis is a science fiction short story about a futuristic United States where a cure for aging was found. This is a great example of speculative fiction because it contains many aspects of what is usually expected in science fiction.
pickA futuristic utopia where there is no aging, no disease, plenty of food and housing for all. But at what cost?
pickThis is brief, but powerful. Sadly, I could see one oompa loompa in particular putting something like this into effect for poor people. He‘d pass it off a merciful and logical and all of his fans would cheer. Vonnegut‘s prediction of the turn of the century isn‘t entirely accurate, but at the rate we‘re going we‘re not going to have much to eat besides seaweed with no water to drink soon enough.

My #litsyhandle comes from a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, which itself is a reference to Shakespeare's (arguably) most famous line. It's pronounced "To be or nought to be," not "two bee are zero two bee." In the story, humans have achieved immortality, and can only die by means of euthanasia- by calling the number 2-B-R-0-2-B and scheduling their suicide with the Federal Bureau of Termination. I found the double meaning clever, and liked the ?
pickAnother quick audio. This one connects a little with 'The Big Trip Up Yonder'. It's interesting and of course Vonnegut's views on society and where it was headed at the time of writing.
