    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. was a prolific and genre-bending American novelist known for works blending satire, black comedy, and science fiction, such as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions. 2 B R 0 2 B is a satiric short story that imagines life (and death) in a future world where aging has been "cured" and population control is mandated and administered by the government. (Summary by Wikipedia and Laurie Anne Walden)

      All of the stars I gave were for the story. The production was so distracting from the story it was borderline comical. All the characters were obviously recorded at different locations/times. There was different ambient noise for each recording and no feeling of interaction between the characters. I've had better experiences in elementary school read aloud sessions. In future I suggest getting together to record at the very least.

      Interesting short story but narration was odd - voice actors were mechanical and stilted. Narrator unnecessarily added "he said" or "she said" after nearly every line of dialogue.
