2.0

It was a fairly good read with some nice descriptions, I think it’s overhyped when people say it predicted modern life etc. Basically it boils down to TV bad, book good. Not a bad message per say, but also one which was oversimplified and was literally Mike Teevee’s backstory.

This book is a classic, and it should be. The general premise and the themes Bradbury explores deserve to be talked about! However, the characters were dull, and part of the plot seemed silly to me. Then again, I read this in 2021, 70 years after it was written, so of course it’s not going to resonate the same way.
