Abstract：Abstract: Kurt Vonnegut has invented a fictional South American island country named San Lorenzo in his novel Cat's Cradle who ends in destruction under the direct impact of the leakage of scientific and technological achievements and the indirect impact of the brutal colonial politics. The people in San Lorenzo Under the dual squeeze of politics and technology have shown the typical post-human characteristics. They suffer from not only physical violent retribution, but also mental coercive remolding. What’s more, the novel expresses the proactive awareness of the reversal of post-human’ subject position and technology’s object position. Especially when technology has combined with totalitarian politics, the oppressed post-human will face incalculable disaster and they cannot withstand a single blow. This paper argues that Cat's Cradle is a prominent political apocalypse for post-human.
Key words: Kurt Vonnegut; Cat's Cradle; post-human; political apocalypse
