...i'm trying to find a book about a chemical that can freeze all the worlds water.  Its a fairly common and oldish sci-fi book.  Anyone recall what im talking about?

It wouldn't be Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut would it?

No...the name of the compound was like "Agent 9" or something.  I cant remember.  I blieve the book is sort of apocolyptic.

Vonnegut, I gotta get around to reading some of his classics* (some of which are online public domain, apparently)... more at Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut





*at least I finally got around to picking up my own copy of Heinlein.'s SISL (along with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolt_in_2100 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methuselahs_Children_%28short_story%29)
