Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death is Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s 1969 semi-autobiographical, anti-war novel that blends science fiction, satire, and dark humor to explore the trauma of war, particularly the firebombing of Dresden, through the non-linear life of protagonist Billy Pilgrim, who becomes "unstuck in time" after being abducted by aliens.
