Fahrenheit 451

By Ray Bradbury

Read: October 2023

This was my first fiction book that I had read in a while. My reading comprehension skills were a little rusty and I had to re-read multiple sections often before I fully comprehended what was going on, but I am grateful that I made the start.

This book was written in the 1950's and I am astonished at how relevant it is even today, and I have an eerie feeling that it might become even more relevant in the future. Some of the predictions that the author made that really stuck out to me are summarized in the following sections:

Short Attention Spans

Isolated Living

Censorship

Consumption vs. Production of Information
