In the TV show True Detective , the character Rust Cohle says, “I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law…We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory, experience, and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody.”
Sometimes, in my more narcissistic moments, I wonder what it would be like to become a famous writer as has always kind of been my dream, and to write a collection of essays all about my thoughts on life. But I don’t think I could do it better than Vonnegut.
This isn’t my favorite of Vonnegut’s books, but it was still an interesting read.
Call me a book snob, but I’m still a Vonnegut stan.
It’s 2022 and the human race hasn’t destroyed itself yet. Let’s take a moment to celebrate.
This book really messed with my head.
