Book Review - Galapagos

Galapagos
Title: Galapagos
Author: Kurt Vonnegut
My Rating: 👍👍👍
My Review: Pending...

Description (Audible): Galapagos takes the listener back one million years to AD 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Galapagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, totally different human race. Kurt Vonnegut, America's master satirist, looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry - and all that is worth saving.

Description (ChatGPT): Imagine Darwin got drunk, time-traveled a million years forward, and wrote a sarcastic memoir—Galápagos is that book. Vonnegut gleefully strips humanity of its overgrown brains and offers evolution a do-over, starring seals, simple minds, and a healthy dose of cosmic irony. It’s like a sci-fi survival guide written by a stand-up philosopher with a grudge against opposable thumbs. Hilarious, haunting, and unmistakably Vonnegut.
