Ray Bradbury On Creating Fahrenheit 451 [Pic]. A letter from the late Ray Bradbury to the assistant director of Fayetteville Public Library on writing Fahrenheit 451.
True. But Kensal Rise was something of a cause celebre, a long hard-fought campaign to keep it open was ended when they came in the dead of night to strip it of books and rip down the plaque commerating it's opening by Mark Twain.

The number of comparisons in Fahrenheit 451 to modern life are actually quite terrifying.
Wallscreens = LCD TV's The Family = Facebook Even the various references to how pharmaceuticals are used could be compared to the modern hike in anti-depressant use. The overtone that any knowledge that makes you feel anything but happy should be shunned and ignored seems to be dominant in today`s society as well. Let`s not forget, particularly for Americans, the "Little Wars".

Sarahofborg... "I've never read it. Just seems overrated to me"
Of the many retarded statements that appear in these comments, this one just about takes the biscuit. Read the book. Then make up your mind. Jesus wept.
