I really like Fahrenheit 451 which is rare for me. Normally I dread reading books for school but this time it was different. This book, published in 1953, holds perhaps more meaning now then ever before. Overlaying themes such as censorship, political correctness, and free thinking hold much value in today's society. One thing I found interesting was that most people in the book did not care about the censorship. In a world where every other show on television depicts a future with flying cars and a disease free environment, it is refreshing to read a story that is so down to earth. The author wanted to show how mass media and the television are destroying our culture and I believe he is right. Even looking at myself after reading this book. I would much rather watch a season of a half decent show then read a great book. Even as I type this I have headphones on listening to my music, something Bradbury surely finds laughable. I think people in my generation have so much information in their heads but almost no knowledge. I would highly recommend this story to everyone. You will find connections to your life and experience a great, filling story.
