by the architect William McDonough,and the chemist Michael Braungart. The book covers a vast amount of topics, from sewage to energy. The Upcycle is actually the second book written by the two authors. I recommend that you read the first book Cradle to Cradle Remaking the Way We Make Things before you read The Upcycle.

One of the main themes in Cat's Cradle is the role of religion in humanity. Throughout the novel, Vonnegut concerns himself with the idea that religion is there to counteract the hard, cold truths of science.

Cat’s Cradle showed the reality of the foolish and the responsible by giving the audience a way to see the truth of our world. The novel gave the audience that if they continue on the path that they are going down, they may end up destroying the world in the end.
