About this book
In an America where science has cured aging and death comes only by accident or by choice, the population is held at a fixed number. The arithmetic is simple and merciless: for every child born, a volunteer must agree to die. When a man becomes the father of triplets, he must find three people willing to give up their lives, and the day turns toward tragedy in a hospital waiting room. Vonnegut folds his bleak humor and his unease about progress into a handful of pages, and even the title hides a grim joke, read aloud as the old question of whether to be. A sharp, quick way into one of America's great satirists.
