This is my favorite Vonnegut story! I know its hard to pick a fave, but this one really speaks to me.
A parable about the state of society when we allow computers to do all the work and leave the people without a sense of purpose or pride. Not only do the machines make everything, but they have also been programmed to choose what we watch, read, eat and collect. Throw into that some class war and you have a story built just for me!
The story of one man's dissatisfaction with his bland upper class life and growing obsession with lower class people and even seditious ideas~!
