It's funny how I hate Ray Bradbury a whole lot more than I hate George Orwell and FAHRENHEIT 451 is probably one one of the most poorly-written books I've ever had to read but as a whole, it's been a lot less harmful to political discourse than 1984, a book I actually enjoyed

Anyway Beatty, in rants by people seeking to apply F451 to "woke culture", can easily be made to stand in for the "postmodernist" academic seeking to destroy all meaning because they've given up on all beauty etc But that's not the only reading
