minus-squarepinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·9 months agoI read Fahrenheit 451 on a whim one day and the scenario was the exact same one we’re in today. Except the fire department in the real world still tries to put out actual fires instead of burning books. We’re not that far gone yet.

minus-squareSanguinePar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoDo people not read 1984? They should, it’s great. I’ve not read F451, but I also haven’t bought it, so I’m off the hook! :-)
