The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut book trailer

They should've switched the order of the planets to Earth --> Mars --> Mercury --> Titan

@zargabaath48 earth, mars, mercury, earth, then titan

Very nice trailer for a great book. The secret of humanity's monuments is revealed, and the truth is both painful and humbling.

Some SF fans didn't like it when it was first released because there was a satirical element attached to the "answers" to these questions. Now it's recognized as a classic novel that can be compared to "Gulliver's Travels" and "Candide."

@Elric33239 Candide was crap. Voltaire apparently couldn't write satire for shit. It should never even be mentioned in the same breath as The Sirens fo Titan.

@LeLimeLine Did you read him in the Original French or are you referring to the bad translations of his works? If the former, what makes you an expert on satire? While Candide wasn't the best work he's written, I wouldn't toss all of his works in the trash, especially Micromegas.

@LeLimeLine Candide was/is hilarious.
