Resumo: Kurt Vonnegut’s Player piano literally elaborates an analysis of the triumph of the technological fetishism in the mass society of twentieth century, adopting a humanistic point of view that, despites its resignation, does not succumb to ideology, due to its ironical and reflexive attitude. The article exposes the hypothesis and provides evidences, allowing its discussion and its eventual acceptance, stressing the interfaces between the sociological reflection and science fiction literature according the way they were thought by Wright Mills.

O artigo expõe a hipótese e fornece evidências para seu debate e eventual aceitação, salientando as interfaces entre ficção científica e reflexão sociológica, conforme as estimou Wright Mills.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2009-12-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/472110.15448/1984-7289.2009.2.4721Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2009): Cyberspace: contributions of the Brasilian social sciences; 197-208Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2009): Ciberespaço: contribuições das ciências sociais brasileiras; 197-208Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 9 n. 2 (2009): Ciberespaço: contribuições das ciências sociais brasileiras; 197-2081984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2009.2reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
