A few hours ago I finished reading Fahrenheit 451, it was hard for me because I rarely read books, but it was worth it, and oh, I felt like I read about our time, people in this novel are like people are now. People watch TV shows, movies, anime created by people and at least think a little, but it happens that people do not think at all and also watch only created by AI and their consumer soul is happy? or even better communicate with AI as a friend and not only, they are, in my opinion, similar to the wife of the main character of the novel; Maybe they will even face a similar fate?

I would say many more things, but I would be glad if you say.

I know it’s not a good idea to compare fiction with reality, but it’s hard not to compare this book with reality, don’t those who have read it agree?

Honestly, I didn’t expect this book to look like it was going to describe the future very accurately, I thought it was just about people refusing to think. I even recognized myself a little in this book.

    I haven’t read that book since high school (well over 20 years ago) but I just want to give you your props. You recognized a limitation in yourself and you addressed it. Great job!

    From what I remember Fahrenheit 451 was a very important book about the dangers of blind obedience and not thinking for oneself. Great first choice.
