Harrison Bergeron is the classic in this group of worthy literature. It is written in a way that it actually speaks to kids, even now.
That’s the test.
Absolute classic, and its succinct, which you have to be in a society with near zero attention span.

Unfortunately, the Vonnegut of Harrison Bergeron died somewhere between Breakfast of Champions and Slapstick and even his pale ghost was never seen again, as Kurt himself made a very sharp left turn into oblivion.

Can’t disagree but I’d wager that Harrison Bergeron may have never been written if not for Heinlein’s works that preceded it.
