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

Bradbury has always been one of my favorite authors, although I haven't read this before until now. Surprisingly, such a short book took me such a long time to finish, and I believe it was mainly because of the wording and the intelligence needed to follow along.

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.
