Why hasn't anyone dare to mention the much better book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury? It puts the depressing and so far from reality 1984 to shame. It's so more closer to our present world then 1984 ever will be, but no one real knows about it.

Fahrenheit 451 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are examples of the people in this society who are not happy, but do not think they are unhappy.

Hi shenoma, it is a very good book, I agree. Whether it is a better book than 1984 is debatable though.

There are some interesting predictions made in the book; Large flat screen TV's, small listening shells that go in your ears(ipods,walkmans), robotic dog Robotic dog.. - YouTube and some other things I can't think of ATM.

All in all fantastic book though and I'd recommend to anybody.

You know I read that book a long time ago and I can hardly remember it! :eek: I will get it out from the library (if they have it) and give it the once over again. I've always been a Ray Bradbury fan.....like a lot of Scifi actually.

Thanks for the prompting!

I actually wrote my dissertation at University on the paralells between 1984, 451, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (why is that not mentioned more??) and a Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It's freakish how right they got their propechies in some cases.

Some say it was predictive programming. Writers like Orwell and Huxley were definitely aware of the agenda and were of the establishment, did they use their knowledge to warn us or was it a case of programming? The Orwellian Big Brother totalitarian nightmare vision now is so entrenched in to our psyche that we just now shrug off as a given, same goes for Huxley and his vision of the scientific dictatorship.

I'm not convinced that this was prophecy, more likely clever programming.
