While this has absolutely nothing to do with Web 2.0, Social Networking or Marketing whatsoever, I was deeply saddened this morning by the news that beloved author and social advocate Kurt Vonnegut had passed away yesterday. The mastermind behind such works as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cats Cradle and a slew of other short stories, essays and novels, Vonnegut was truly a genius when it came to the art of writing. His stories were both insightful and thought provoking and his cynical outlook on life and society made him one of the more progressive and controversial writers of his time. He will be sorely missed but his words and thoughts will carry on for generations to come.
