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

Honestly, Aldus Huxley had his number way back in 1949. Orwell foresaw a world where we have truth taken from us. Huxley countered that the REAL danger was a world where there's SO MUCH information that we couldn't tell true from false or vital from trivial. Huxley was right.

I'm kind of meh on both of them tbh Like that's not actually a very good description of BNW even if Huxley (and Postman) thought it was, everyone in BNW is literally brainwashed by the hypnopaedia and books are also banned
