I finished Reading a few books and just did not get a chance to blog about them.
Fahrenheit 451- I finished this book in a really fast manor. I have never finished a book so fast. I think because I enjoyed it so much. And the fact that it fit into the society so much today I could really relate to it. This book was written in 1953 and now today has evolved to actually make its self true. The idea that we do not actually need books to read. The idea that technology is going to take over to the world and we are going to lost touch with all the simply things in life, like reading a paper back novel taking in the old moldy smell of the book. I actually just read and article for my other class that they are coming out with the Human Body 2.0 where we wont need to actually ingest food anymore we can just implant these nano-bots onto our clothes that go into out body when we need nutrients. It is so interesting and scary to think about that we could actually not need to eat to survive! That is what I really take from this book that we are missing out on the small things by moving into this modern world that technology is taking over the world and replacing the simple pleasures that we used to enjoy.
Ah yes, but in this book there's such a wonderful element of hope don't you think that he leaves, rebels and runs off to join others who reject the model. And, that he's the holder of the Bible; that's pretty important even as we're afraid of the consequences of our current society, there are alternatives.
