This paper aims to analyze Vonnegut’s two novels, Galapagos and Timequake, which show the present crises that modern society is undergoing and the possible disasters it might meet. In Galapagos, the author studies the corrupt nature of human culture as it is controlled by Big brain and presents an apocalyptic warning regarding many problems of modern society, including overpopulation, war, terror, slavery and environmental pollution. In the process he asks humankind to recover its humanity and preserve its dignity, while developing a world view which will help us overcome these cultural crises. In Timequake, Vonnegut thinks that mankind is threatened by an absurd social system, inhuman policies, destructive wars and cold-hearted selfishness. After contemplating the problems of modern society, he suggests practical measures to improve conditions and offers a reformative vision of how to better his fellows. As a consequence, Vonnegut has a deep insight into many problems of modern society and tries to make humankind aware of the crisis through his apocalyptic warnings. As his intention is to make us aware of our need to become more human, he presents a message of salvation for mankind through these works.
