because of the computerization in corporations,
and Vonnegut blames American scientists and
technologists for this (Uphaus 466). Technology is
so destructive that it has taken our jobs away
from us and takes away our pride. He believes that

that will pop into their mind will be visions of
swamps and flooded plains. These marshy lands

William Congreves The Mourning Bride, Heaven hath
no rage like a love to hatred turned, nor hell a
fury like a woman scorned portrays this view
perfectly. This view is supported even further in

primary driving force is a search for meaning. Nor
do I concede with his critics that propose
alternative motivations, such as power, or

any single one. Moreover, I believe that these
motivations represent themselves in a predictable,
patterned way. In three of the books we read this
summer, it is possible to trace the evolution of
