Was Ray Bradbury, the author, going to get a mention in the starting credits for the 2018 film of Fahrenheit 451, which I recorded to skip the ads? Right down in the dumps at the end. Maybe as reminder that the film makers used his familiar title but wrote their own version of it.
Is all the book-burning a rather daft idea? Maybe not with a government as lovely as our Labour lot, who were put in charge on the basis of votes from 20% of the electorate. That’s a certain recipe for abuses of all sorts.
And what about Mr. Bradbury’s army of people who had memorized a book to prevent it from being cancelled? They never got a look in.
