You do realize Fahrenheit 451 has nothing with the apocalypse and has everything to do with how much Ray Bradbury hates being politically correct? If you are going to bash Bradbury, bash him for being sexist and racist. When somebody asked if he could release a reedit of a prior book, he whined. A better person would explain they could re-release the book with a new author's note explaining that they wrote that book in a time when they thought differently and then would write books that fit their new mindset. But Bradbury didn't. And that's what makes him a bad person. Not being obsessed with the apocalypse.

TLDR: Read Carl Sagan.

From Ray Bradury's own coda to Fahrenheit 451. This is why you read the author's notes. So you can see the cray-cray.

ugh, html fail, sorry. :/

You're right, he's a bad person for wanting his work to stand for itself and not self-censor himself.

Good for him not curtailing to people like you.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-24 12:34 am (UTC)(link)

(Anonymous) 2013-10-24 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Giving in. Restricting himself.

There are people don't realize Fahrenheit 451 was about censorship?

Daaaammmmmnnnnnnn. Have I ever got a book about animal husbandry to show them.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-24 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
He decided back in 2007 that was totally not the message of the book and we were apparently reading a censorship message into it even though he told us that was the message earlier.

Hahahah yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh and Ender's Game never had any anti-militaristic, anti-authoritarian sentiments (thanks 1990s re-edit!).

Oh, Bradbury, and OSC, you are why the author is "dead".
