Yeah, you have to remember that this was written at the height of the Vietnam War.
Ixt, I would suggest reading Cat's Cradle next. It's my favorite and it's probably his most accessible book. If you liked the first chapter then you may want to read his non-fiction books, which are mainly collections of essays and articles: Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons, Palm Sunday, Armageddon in Retrospect, and A Man without a Country.
