Who can forget the Church of God the Utterly Indifferent, or the wonderful
term “chrono-synclastic infundibulum”? Unbelievably, Kurt Vonnegut’s Sirens of
Titan (Indigo, £5.99, ISBN 0 575 40023 4) is nearly forty years old, but
is still one of the sharpest and funniest science fiction satires about the
folly of humanity and religion. It’s a pleasure to see this classic back in
print.
