Author Kurt Vonnegut dies at 84:
Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84.
Vonnegut, who often marveled that he had lived so long despite his lifelong smoking habit, had suffered brain injuries after a fall at his Manhattan home weeks ago, said his wife, photographer Jill Krementz.

i agree with a, but perhaps he is better off, freed from the burdens of this world.
If you've never read his books or want to read one of his really great ones, try "Cat's Cradle"
