"Timeshock" is the final work written by the American postmodernist literary master Vonnegut in 1997. He used the form of science fiction, postmodernism, and humorous and satirical writing to carefully construct a special world, the "timequake": due to a crisis of self-confidence, the space-time unity in the universe suddenly shrank, resulting in a "timequake". He decided to have some fun and bounce the world back to 10 years ago. Everyone is repeating exactly what they have done before under a "delusion of having experienced it before". The stories that make you laugh one after another, and the classic quotes one after another, cleverly make the anti-traditional, non-centered and absurd theme "time earthquake" readable. The author does not make predictions or inventions like normal science fiction novels, but directly points to human nature, and even the destiny and soul of mankind. The resentment between the lines is a combination of helplessness and cynicism. It is a combination of humor and sharpness. It is worthy of being the final masterpiece of Feng's life.
