Galapagos/YMMV
- Harsher in Hindsight: A global financial crises leads to the complete collapse of every economy except for the U.S. and Japan in a matter of months.
- Idiot Plot : Sadly, certain portions of the book read like a textbook example of this. The characters inexplicably seem to be complete pawns of the message Vonnegut is trying to get across.
