Kurt_Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut Imagination What would happen if people could imagine something and it would instantly become reality' Imagine the thought of creating a whole new society where perfect and harmonious social, economical, and political conditions and relationships exist. What would a word without violence, racism, and money hungry people be like' This place would be Utopia. By definition, Utopia is an imaginary place or state where all is perfect. Each individual has his or her own idea for the “perfect state” of a Utopian society. In essence, no Utopia is ever identically equal. A renowned author in American literature decided to use the theme about writing about Utopian aspects in several of his novels. After publishing his first novel, Player Piano, in 1952, he published several short stories before his release of the 1959 novel, Sirens of Titan (Berggoetz 3). He tackles issues such as higher powers, wars, humans vs. machines, and equality in Sirens of Titan. He compares today’s society and then places suggestions on problem areas in society into his novels. In 1997, Stephanie Bonner had said, “In the past 47 years, he has become one of the most acclaimed writers of our times” (Bonner 1).
