Fahrenheit 451

Ray Bradbury got the future wrong. They aren’t burning books. There are more of them than ever, purchased and distributed by the state and its partners, along with all the rest of the media.

The books weren’t the threat. The information was. They haven’t set it on fire. They’ve drowned it.

Farenheit 451 isn't about censorship or book burning. It's a means to an end. It's about fascism/totalitarianism and the means of control within the state. It's about programming the masses with controlled technology whereby they can't allow competing products (example, books) else the zombies might awaken.

Sounds like he's spot on.
