Review: Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut


Listen Later

This week, we kicked off our Transhumanist Sci-Fi series with one of Kurt Vonnegut's lesser known books: Galapagos... and we loved it!  What was it about this novel that captivated us so?  The innovative narrative structure?  The humor?  Humanity's* inevitable evolution into small-brained sea lion-y beach potatoes?  The answer may surprise you.  (It's all of the above.)
This is the first novel in our Transhumanist Sci-Fi series. Want to talk about Galapagos? Join our book club discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonicalPod where you can also find show notes, credits and extended discussions for every episode.
