Player Piano, published in 1952.

BTW, I used Google to find out what book. Vonnegut wasn't my favorite author, I've only read a couple of his books.

Nice... Solid move! Mine is still heavily weighted to casinos and malt liquor corps. Been looking at new opportunities like oregon heroin dispensaries.
