What a sad world that is depicted in this novel where people burn books and the value of a human life is very little

A classic story that is valid right now due to book censoring currently in 2023.

This isn't even book censorship, this is flat out destroying anything with pages! I don't know if it's more terrifying to see a civilization where everyone is fine not questioning a single thing they're told, or the fact that any and all books ever written can only live in a person's memory. It's like playing a game of telephone to retain & spread the purpose towards a revolution.

A story about the importance of books. Not just books but life lived without restraints. This novel has us plunged into a world where books are illegal. Friends, spouses, neighbors, anyone may turn you in for having one. Your life is kept small and your thoughts are stopped from wandering. The outlier is stamped out. The exceptional is no longer rewarded they are eliminated. Because that person makes all the others look or feel bad.
