Favorite Answer

Kurt Vonnegut has written a lot of different things in different styles, but if you like his work, try a few of the following:

Aldous Huxley "Brave New World"

Robert A. Heinlein "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"

Philip K. Dick "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

If you like to try somethin a little more modern, I'm still awfully fond of many of the cyberpunk and post-cyberpunk authors.

William Golding "Count Zero," "Burning Chrome (short stories)," "Virtual Light," "The Difference Engine"

Bruce Sterling "Crystal Express (short stories)"

Answer 3

Try books by Jim Yoakum, he's got an absurdist slant sort KV-ish. He used to write with oe of the Monty Python fellows. I read Birdbrain and The Myoshi Effect by him and both sorta reminded me of KV.
