Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Written in Vonnegut's Typical pseudo-science fiction style the book takes us on a quest to find out what the creator of the A-bomb, Dr. Felix Hoenikker, was doing on the day it was dropped on Hiroshima. Instead of revealing the secrets of that day, the book shows us in detail how the world ended. A very good novel to read.
