Bokonon

Excerpted from Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, ©1963:

There was a quotation from The Books of Bokonon on the page before me.  Those words leapt from the page and into my mind, and they were welcomed there.

The words were a paraphrase of the suggestion by Jesus: 'Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's.'

Bokonon's paraphrase was this:

'Pay no attention to Caesar.  Caesar doesn't have the slightest idea what's really going on.'
