My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Many parents of twins or triplets probably feel an odd mix of joy and terror, but what if you had to find someone to agree to die for ever child you brought into the world? What would you do if you were then surprised by twins? This is the clever premise of Vonnegut’s short story / novella. It’s set in a future where people can live forever unless they voluntarily decide to take themselves from the world.
It is typical Vonnegut, written with humor and a touch of darkness.
It’s a great read.
FYI – Pronounce 0 (zero) as “naught” and the name will make sense.
