"Fargo" creator Noah Hawley is turning Kurt Vonnegut's 1963 novel "Cat's Cradle" into a limited series for FX, according to Deadline.

The novel provides a satirical viewpoint of technology, religion and scientific advances, noted the Hollywood Reporter. It looks at the human condition against the backdrop of the story of the super-weapon Ice-Nine, which could end the world.

“All the true things I’m about to tell you are shameless lies,” reads the first line of "Cat's Cradle," which is from the fictitious religious text, The Books of Bokonon, reported Coming Soon. Vonnegut's mythical religion lies at the center of the satire.

"My Bokonist warning is this," narrated Vonnegut in the tome. "Anyone unable to understand how a useful religion can be founded on lies will not understand this book either."

While the novel was written during the Cold War era of the 1960s, its reflections on war are still relevant today, according to the Observer Leader.

Acclaimed showrunner Hawley has had much success producing the dark comedy "Fargo," and FX is trusting him to write and produce another all-American black comedy, noted iDigital Times.

This will be the first attempt at adapting "Cat's Cradle" into a television series.
