Player Piano seems like a better forecast for how society is progressing, actually
Don't believe everything you read. Vonnegut is an author, not a prophet.
Totally irrelevant; this isn't a matter of the author being one thing or another. The point Vonnegut makes in the story is a philosophical one, namely that a blind pursuit of equality is wicked and inhuman, which is transparently correct.
Arguing that point with a fictional novel seems incredibly opaque, inefficient, and sometimes disingenuous.
Sometimes fiction is the best way to express truth.
