I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Human behavior in relation to potential weapons of mass destruction has never taken so many perplexing twists and turns. But "Ice-9," a weapon concocted during escalating tensions of the Cold War - well played Vonnegut.

Ultimately, each character just seems to go with the flow, acting and responding to events in accordance with what their respective stations in life have shaped them up to be as individuals. And still given the nature of Ice-9, and the nature of humanity, chaos ensues.

Bokononism is truly a religion of merit.
