Player Piano-opinion

Vonnegut's PLAYER PIANO is not a work that I would read on my own. It is not a book that I was able to connect with, and maybe that was partially intended for not all the characters to connect with the readers because of the disengagement created by technology and machines.
I did appreciate Kurt Vonnegut's writing style. For instance, when he would emphasize a point regarding the overtaking of machines, he would use lists to illuminate their overwhelming nature. He also did this at the end of the book when he was detailing the destruction created after the big blow out with Finnerty, Proteus and the other key men against the higher powers of society, he listed everything that laid strewn upon the ground, all the gadgets and thingamajigs that are now useless in the eyes of these "doctors", but incredibly valuable to the people of "lesser intelligence" who think for themselves and create things with their hands instead of relying on computers to do the simplest of tasks.
Even with all the chaos and destruction that was occurring at the end of the novel, Vonnegut kept the structure of his main character; keeping his mental lists alphabetized despite the ongoing rebellion.
It was interesting how Vonnegut poked fun at the potential future of our society, that even with Proteus trying to create an uprising, structure and order are what seem to matter most, and that even with the greatest efforts, not all goals and ideals will be accomplished, and people will ultimately root back to the normality's and comforts of society, even if what they are used to is suppressing and corrupt.
