Player Piano was Kurt Vonnegut's first
novel. It was originally published in 1952. Vonnegut had previously
worked as a PR writer for General Electric's renowned Research
Laboratory. There he saw the technology of the future, including
computer controlled machines that would do work traditionally done by
people. Player Piano draws extensively from his experiences at the
Laboratory. Set in an America where the only people that have any
purpose are the elite technocrats who control the computers which
control everything else. It is the story of engineer Paul Proteus, who
joins a rebellion of those made useless by technology. Amazing
prescience for 1952!
