Ray Bardbury's world in Fahrenheit 451 where book burning was institutionalised.

"Where they burn books, they will end in burning human beings." — Heinrich Heine in 1821.

So are books.

steve12553 · 23rd July 2006, 03:19 PM

So are the minds that absorb them.

Hadn't really thought of the future(?) Earth of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 in this context; but, given it as an option.... I think it just moved into my #1 spot of worst hellhole ever.....

Yes, especially since they run over cute, brainy girls!

NOOOO!

hypocriticHarkonnen · 25th July 2006, 09:16 AM

what else happens in Fahrenheit 451? and why do they burn books?

Nesacat · 25th July 2006, 10:11 AM

Spoiler warning:

In Fahrenheit 451, firemen start fires in order to burn books and the title is the temperature at which they burn the books.

It's a society where trivial information is good, and knowledge and ideas are bad. Guy Montag is a fireman undergoing a crisis of faith and who starts hiding books in his home. His wife turns him in, and he must answer the call to burn cache of books. He eventually winds up joining an outlaw band of scholars who keep the contents of books in their heads, waiting for the time society will once again need the wisdom of literature.

yeah, in that dreary abyss I wouldn't spend a lot of time, since I would probably die of Lakof buksturead
(corny joke. forgive me, I'm bored)

It's better in a hell hole
You know where you stand in a hell hole
Folks lend a hand in a hell hole
Girl get me back to my hell hole.

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, where all humans are made in test tubes in laboratories.

I just watched Star Trek a few days back, and I just realized it would be a bloody bummer to get captured by a Borg and be assimilated. One of the next worse things to dying, maybe even worse.

Nesacat · 12th September 2006, 01:57 PM

But would you even know or remember all that was? Would you totally forget or would there be a tiny part that screamed all down the ages?
