A few hours ago I finished reading Fahrenheit 451, it was hard for me because I rarely read books, but it was worth it, and oh, I felt like I read about our time, people in this novel are like people are now. People watch TV shows, movies, anime created by people and at least think a little, but it happens that people do not think at all and also watch only created by AI and their consumer soul is happy? or even better communicate with AI as a friend and not only, they are, in my opinion, similar to the wife of the main character of the novel; Maybe they will even face a similar fate?

I would say many more things, but I would be glad if you say.

I know it’s not a good idea to compare fiction with reality, but it’s hard not to compare this book with reality, don’t those who have read it agree?

Honestly, I didn’t expect this book to look like it was going to describe the future very accurately, I thought it was just about people refusing to think. I even recognized myself a little in this book.

    We bombard people with sensation. That substitutes for thinking

    Yes, but I liked the passage where the villain says something like: don’t give people time to think, fill their minds with all sorts of nonsense, so they don’t even have a free second to think.

    Well, now it’s the reality: war, war, death, people died again, and here’s the perfect life on Reddit, see what a cute AI-generated cat, but it doesn’t matter to you, right? so consume and be happy.

    And I also find that 1984 is better. The finale is especially realistic, where the main character, like an obedient kid, in a sense falls in love with the party.
