Ray Bradbury: "There's too many internets"

Postby MouthForWar » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:27 am

I love Bradbury, but my god he's a crabby old stereotype these days.

And isn't it ironic that the guy who wrote Fahrenheit 451 refuses to embrace a new form of getting his literature out to the public? I love the old guy but he comes off as a big douche.

[quote="Fahrenheit 451, pages 82-83"]“It’s not books you need, it’s some of the things that once were in books. The same things could be in ‘parlor families’ today. The same infinite detail could be projected through the radios and televisions… Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.â€
