In this episode, we discuss “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut. What can we learn from this classic of speculative fiction? How does its cartoonishness impact its humanity? How important is it for fiction to be grounded in human experience? How does our modern technology affect how we read this story? Is Vonnegut’s prose really “mechanical”?
