description: Cat's Cradle is the story of ice-nine and just what it meant when the stuff got loost. With chill, deadpan humour the author spatters the targets of religion and science as the hunt for the three children of Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the fathers of the atomic bomb, draws towards the end that, for all of us, is nigh.
