from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle:
"How do you think the people of San Lorenzo would take to industrialization?" I asked the Castles, father and son.
"The people of San Lorenzo," the father told me, "are interested in only three things: fishing, fornication, and Bokononism."
"Don't you think they could be interested in progress?"
"They've seen some of it. There's only one aspect of progress that really excites them."
"What's that?"
"The electric guitar."
