We’re nothing more than dust jackets for books.
In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury takes on the ideas of censorship and defiance. Fire Captain Beatty argues that it was the minorities that first burned the books, removing one page at a time until there was nothing left. Once the world came to accept that books were no longer critical, the act of book burning and the censorship of free thinking became common. As the true crime in this society came from reading the books.
This was definitely and interesting perspective and one that I hope remains a thing of fiction. Although there will always be some form of censorship in our world…

It really makes you think of the importance of books especially "classics" which "a lot of people" (quotes cuz it's just a lot of people I've seen) seem to hate on
It's also interesting to think that with how some books are marked now there's a very simple non insightful labels that can slap on them to make people wanna read them and I think of that when they talked about the tv and how they stripped media down to basically nothingness
I say this to draw parallels in conversations I've had/heard with other people
Overall it's a great book though the ending bits felt a little dragged
