A dystopian novel about a world without books leaves an open ended question. It is amazing how Ray Bradbury's view of the future resembles our reality 60 years later. People walk like zombies attached to mobile devices reading quick summaries of news, books, and tabloids. Entertainment as an escape from reality and a hectic life at 100 mph. No time to stop and be amazed, contemplation is a brain condition. In Bradbury's dystropia control of people's lives didn't start with the government but with indifference of people. Authorities just take advantage of the way people choose to live.
Farenheit 451 is as current as in its post-war era. Due to different reasons. In our era we need to stop to take a break to enjoy the little things of life, to share with one another and live a meaningful life.
While in the process of working this blog, we got the sad news of the departure of the Galaxy Traveler, Ray Bradbury. The Galaxy will not be the same without you.
