Cat's Cradle is by Kurt Vonnegut. Dark humor at its very very best. A journalist writing a book about a famous scientist discovers the scientist has invented a substance that could destroy the world. "Ice-nine" turns liquids into solids instantly. John finds himself on an island with the dead scientist's three children, one of whom is a midget, as the world comes to an end. Complete with original theology from a calypso singer; a banana republic dictator; and a blackly fatalistic, yet hysterically funny take on the future, this book is Vonnegut at his very best. A banned book well worth reading.
