Show notes

Here it is, Bradbury’s masterpiece! The Center For Lit crew is blown away by the novel’s eerie predictions of current technologies, its stern diagnosis of today’s cultural tendencies, and finally by the sheer beauty of the thing. Fahrenheit 451 emerges as far more than a defense of books; it’s an apology for humane culture that actually strikes a hopeful note. Believe it or not, we come away encouraged that all is not lost. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit centerforlit.substack.com/subscribe
