"Player Piano" Wobbly Reading Group

 For September, the Industrial Workers of the World - Lancaster will be reading and discussing Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano". We carried this book over from August since some people were unable to attend who were very interested and we wanted to continue our great discussion

"Player Piano, author Kurt Vonnegut's first novel, was published in 1952. It is a dystopia of automation and capitalism, describing the dereliction they cause in the quality of life. The story takes place in a near-future society that is almost totally mechanized, eliminating the need for human laborers. This widespread mechanization creates conflict between the wealthy upper class—the engineers and managers who keep society running—and the lower class, whose skills and purpose in society have been replaced by machines. The book uses irony and sentimentality, which were to become a hallmark developed further in Vonnegut's later works."


We'll be meeting at the Campus Grille on the corner of Harrisburg Pk and Mary St @7pm.
