Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut

A master at his best. The day Winston Niles Rumfoord flew his spaceship into a chrono-synclastic infundibulum was a bad day - he was converted into pure energy and only materializes back on Earth every 59 days, only for an hour. But he knows the future and the past, including that an alien on Titan is waiting for a spare part for his  spaceship and that his home planet is manipulating events on Earth in order to deliver that spare part.  An examination of free will, destiny, and the forces that control us.
