      That said, he refused to let them release his bibliography as ebooks *unless they offered the most generous possible terms for libraries* Because he was aware of the issue with libraries and ebook rights and he has always been a staunch pro-library guy

      Saying that he would have no education at all if not for public libraries given how poor his family was and how frequently they moved and disrupted his schooling, and he felt obligated to give back no matter how much it cost him financially So there's that, at least

      I have frequently defended people's bad takes like this on autobiographical grounds saying it's often about the feeling more than any defensible ideology And Bradbury was a kid for whom public libraries were his refuge and escape through his whole crappy childhood

      By contrast, TV wasn't really a thing until he was an adult (he was born in 1920), and the TV they had back then was mostly *terrible*, and it stayed terrible for a long time (Newton Minow's "vast wasteland" speech was in 1961, when Bradbury was 41)

      So I mean I get it Faber's speech in F451 about the only real difference that matters between books and screens -- that with books *the reader has the control* -- made way more sense back in his day, or, hell, even my day, compared to the Kids These Days

      In Bradbury's day the public library was an infinite hall of portals to imaginary worlds and challenging ideas, that no adult in your life could ever fully comprehend or stop you from accessing

      The TV was a box with a constant stream of garbage you had no control over from the same few dickhead corporations who were transparently using it to shovel advertising in your face as cheaply and crassly as possible (remember the Ovaltine thing from A Christmas Story)

      It was like three channels (even going up to *five* channels was a big deal when Fox and PBS went on the air) and holy shit did those shows suck I mean I will go to bat for I Love Lucy as a classic but you'll notice it's like the only one from its time period to survive

      The fact that this is all about Bradbury's personal emotional shit is also why, like, he loves *film* so much even though he despises *television* Going to the movies was an extension of the library for him as a kid (an expensive treat)

      And when the boob tube came in when he was in his 20s it took a long time for the production values and level of artistry to generally catch up to film So you'll in fact see a ton of love for the movies in his writing, but all tinted with this old-timey Hollywood romance

          I mean... You can give him credit for being open-minded or call him a sellout and a hypocrite, but Bradbury DID work in TV He hosted an anthology series based on his work called The Ray Bradbury Theater (1985-86) https://twitter.com/Heartofaquamari/status/1292271514071576576 …
