6/5Yes, that's right. It's a 6/5 rating. 5/5 seems so... unfair.Kurt Vonnegut is perhaps the most under-rated author of our literary history. This tiny short story (only 12 pages) is filled with so much satire, angst and anger that one tends to forget it is sci-fi. Although, this is the first story where the SF aspect is so well forgotten as the story develops, that even those repelled by SF would love this.The title 2 B R 0 T B is an acronym for the eternal conflict in humanity - To Be Or NotA short Dystopian story about the implications of population control. This reminded me of the type of material you would see as an episode of The Twilight Zone or something similar. It was enjoyable, even though it wasn't groundbreaking.
My first read by Vonnegut. Vonnegut presents a dark vision of the future. This is a short story about population control and the dilemma that a father of newborn have to face with.
4.0 stars. Dark, satirical look at a future United States where people can now live indefinitely and the population is kept at a constant forty million. This population (without natural death) is achieved through a combination of infanticide and government-assisted suicide. For someone to be born, someone else must die.
2BRO2B: Where utopia and dystopia coalesce.
This is an dystopian thinker of short story that takes all of about 15 minutes to read, even if youre slow like me. Writing more than a couple sentences would almost surely spoil it, so Ill say almost nothing beyond this: future, population control & ethical suicide studios. Does that peak your interest or make you cringe? For me it was both.
