David,

Glad to hear you came around to how good this book is. I loved it even more after I finished it because you see the world in a different perspective, like how our world is so very similar to what he imagined it would be like. Dystopian forms of entertainment tend to do that.

On the topic of technology, irony, and a little tid bit of info some may not know. Ray Bradbury actually bought a wall sized TV, exactly like the ones in the book…

I hated this book with a passion when I tried to read it at 11 or 12 years old. As a young man of 18 I realized the brilliance of Bradbury’s work. How sad is it that at 35, I am shouting into the electronic void that this is the greatest American novel of the 20th century.

Instead of burning books we now have anti-paper lunatics clamoring for the end of all print media. Technology has eroded our capacity to feel, to remember and to cherish. Bradbury probably never imagined he’d live to see our world grow so hollow.

But I remain hopeful that the pendulum will inevitably swing back to thoughtfulness and wonder.
