Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut
"Player Piano" is a dystopian novel set in a future where machines have taken over most of the jobs, leaving humans with little purpose or control.

Through Paul's journey, the book explores themes of technology, automation, and the dehumanizing effects of a society driven solely by efficiency and productivity.
