> However, as humanity gains more scientific insight there's less need to retain old traditions that mix bad along with the good. We should be able to design a better society that captures the good without the bad.

I think I've read that book.

Cat's Cradle, by Vonnegut. One of my favorite books ever. Very fun!

Whoa, that's pretty sweet of you!

I'd love Cat's Cradle, it's on my books wishlist and something I've been meaning to read for a long time!

Ooooh awesome!

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. A tragic comedy, it tells in a wonderful way the toils of religion and the euphoria of love. A dystopian romantic fantasy, and apart from #2 the best book I've ever read.
Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut. A comedic tragedy, the story of a man in love and in desperation and in trouble. We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. Quite probably my favorite book ever, and I think everybody should read it.
Technically it's a play, but The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh. A really well written dark and disturbing story about a man in a totalitarian investigation. But it still manages to be hilarious in all the most deep and worrying ways. It's definitely my favorite play, and is really amazing.

I'm also about to do a road trip with two other scientists! Here are some awesome books that either I've read, or I plan on reading on my trip:

Contact - Carl Sagan. This book is absolutely my favorite science-y fiction, ever.

Cat's Cradle or Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, if you haven't read them already.

Anything by Ray Bradbury - specifically Fahrenheit 451, also if you haven't read it already.

If you're into full-on science fiction, I can totally recommend the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card and the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons.

Dr. Breed was mistaken about at least one thing: there was such a thing as ice-nine.

And ice-nine was on earth.
