Hi bac Lam,

I just began reading him for about six months, and he's great! One of
the greatest contemporary writer that America has ever
produced. In his works, he attacks many current issues of the human
race in general, and in America in particular: human vs machine,
war vs love, overpopulation, slavery, greed, commercialism, and
so on. His books are usually satirical, with many sci-fi elements
(but not entirely sci-fi themselves!) I'd highly recommend "Slaughter
House Five, or The Children's Crusade", written in 1968. I've read
4 other books from him, and they're all enjoyable.

       "There is no order in the world around us, we must adapt
        ourselves to the requirements of chaos instead. It is hard
        to adapt to chaos, but it can be done. I am living proof of
        that: It can be done."

Happy reading!
