Which Vonnegut's "Sirens of Titan" was published in 1959 as a cheap paperback fantasy book. But the writer really went much deeper. We are just part of the system - our destiny is predetermined. And who controls it - the Universe, the Big Bang, God, extraterrestrial civilisations or the planet Tralfamadore - is a mystery to us for now. And, as K.
