NOTES

Read by Steve Bramham

This darkly humorous short story transports listeners to an overcrowded future where anti-aging drugs have created a society where nobody dies and multiple generations are forced to cohabitate. Follow the dysfunctional Ford family as they navigate life under the iron rule of 172-year-old Gramps, whose possession of the family apartment gives him absolute power. When young Lou plots to overthrow the family hierarchy, chaos ensues. Masterfully narrated and capturing Vonnegut's unique blend of science fiction, social commentary, and biting wit, this audiobook brings to life a timeless tale of family tension, immortality's unexpected consequences, and humanity's endless quest for control. Perfect for science fiction fans, Vonnegut enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys thought-provoking stories that challenge our perception of progress
