🪴 2 B R 0 2 B - a book review

 

Wow, what a story! 

2 B R 0 2 B might be short, but it hits like a punch. Vonnegut throws us into a future where births and deaths are perfectly balanced, and the cold efficiency of it all is both absurd and terrifying. I couldn’t believe how quickly the world pulled me in, and that ending left me stunned. 

It’s dark, satirical, and thought-provoking, the kind of story that sticks in your head long after you’ve finished. For just a few pages, it delivers so much.

fun fact: The title is a play on the Shakespearean line “To be, or not to be” from Hamlet, rendered here in a modern, almost clinical form: “2BR02B” (read as "to be or naught to be").
