    The Relevance of Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano in the Age of Automation

    Player Piano serves as a cautionary tale and remains relevant in the age of automation as it addresses the issues of technological progress and the impact of replacing human labor and the resulting loss of purpose and meaning in life.
