"You are the only creature with free will! How do you like it?" - these lines were read by Dwayne Hoover in the novel by science fiction writer Kilgore Trout, a recurring character in Vonnegut's works, who is a kind of alter ego of the writer. Hoover decided that this question was addressed specifically to him (in fact, the question was intended for anyone who opened the book) and that he was the only person on the planet with free will, only he could think and feel, and all the other people around were just weak-willed and soulless robots. This thought almost deprived the hero of his mind. A car salesman, not distinguished by any particular intellect, Dwayne Hoover unexpectedly turns out to be a wonderful conduit for the ideas of Kilgore Trout. In this amazing philosophical book, ridiculing the modern crazy world, the absurdity and cruelty of human misdeeds, fantasy and reality, madness and logic, author and hero, real and false, truth and fiction merge. Breakfast of Champions is one of Vonnegut's most important books, which the writer gave himself for his fiftieth birthday. In 1999, the novel was filmed, with Bruce Willis playing the role of Dwayne Hoover.
