Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Cat's Cradle is a 1963 novel by Kurt Vonnegut. The protagonist, who introduces himself to us in the first person narration as simply "Jonah", real name "John", begins the story intending to write a book about the atomic bomb. In his research, he comes to learn about the family of one of the chief scientists who created it: Dr. Felix Hoenikker. His research also uncovers the possibility that the man went on to create something else that could wipe out all life on Earth.Some time afterwards, John winds up on the Caribbean island of San Lorenzo, where he meets all three of Dr. Hoenikker's children, as well as the woman of his dreams. He also learns about the history of the island, and a man known as Bokonon, who has created a strange religion that almost every resident of the nation seems to practice, despite it being outlawed by the country's eccentric military dictatorship.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })And then everything goes completely to hell. | |

| Cat's Cradle / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: In-Universe. John admits that he can't decide whether Mona's strange aloofness and deatchment was a sign of a deep serenity making her "the highest form of female spirituality" or whether she was just cold and empty inside. | |

Aliens in Cardiff: Ice-nine is invented in Ilium, NY. There's no such place, but "Ilium" was another name for "Troy", and there is a Troy, NY. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Cat's Cradle / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Planetary-scale, and is implied to cause the eventual extinction of all life on earth (although this is not depicted). Except for ants, that is. | |

Absent-Minded Professor / Married to the Job: The only thing that interests Felix Hoenikker is his scientific work. He barely even notices his wife and children. Once, after a breakfast, he gave his wife a tip. | |
