First published in 1953. A sci-fi of the way government controls ‘the people’ by stopping them reading books and therefore having a creative cultured life by burning books.
Still fresh today. I read the edition with an interview by the author which was interesting to hear if he would have changed the book if he wanted to. Also his view that making abridged editions of novels is just as bad as burning books…go on him.
Score 6/10
