Kurt Vonnegut Quotes
I Became A So-called Science Fiction Writer When Someone Decreed That I Was A Science Fiction Writer. I Did Not Want To Be Classified As One, So I Wondered In What Way I'd Offended That I Would Not Get Credit For Being A Serious Writer. I Decided That It Was Because I Wrote About Technology, And Most Fine American Writers Know Nothing About Technology. I Got Classified As A Science Fiction Writer Simply Because I Wrote About Schenectady, New York. My First Book, Player Piano, Was About Schenectady. There Are Huge Factories In Schenectady And Nothing Else. I And My Associates Were Engineers, Physicists, Chemists, And Mathematicians. And When I Wrote About The General Electric Company And Schenectady, It Seemed A Fantasy Of The Future To Critics Who Had Never Seen The Place.
