Cat's Cradle Chapter 24 Summary

What a Wampeter Is

  • "A wampeter is a pivot of a karass" (24.2). It can be any object, just as long as the karass and their fate revolve around it.
  • John is certain that the wampeter of his karass was coming into being while he talked with Dr. Breed.
  • That is, of course, ice-nine.
