Well, since that's exactly the plot of Cat's Cradle, I'm laughing pretty hard right now.

Another Roadside Attraction is also based on something like this.

I'll have to finish reading that book, someday.

Can't believe you could start and stop! Vonnegut tends to zip by anyway.

Cat's Cradle is so far the only Vonnegut book that hasn't grabbed me. I've tried reading it three times now, and always by the halfway point I lose interest and move on to a different book.

No idea why.
