Have these people never read Harrison Bergeron? How do they think this is going to end?

Player Piano seems like a better forecast for how society is progressing, actually

Don't believe everything you read. Vonnegut is an author, not a prophet.

Totally irrelevant; this isn't a matter of the author being one thing or another. The point Vonnegut makes in the story is a philosophical one, namely that a blind pursuit of equality is wicked and inhuman, which is transparently correct.

Arguing that point with a fictional novel seems incredibly opaque, inefficient, and sometimes disingenuous.

Sometimes fiction is the best way to express truth.
