They've tried to remake it a couple of times, but can't come up with a script since the digital age. Book burning wouldn't seem such a big deal.

... about the novel, not about book-burning in general.

Yes, I have read it. It is a microcosm of the Cold War. With the advent of the digital age, it is hard to fully understand how knowledge could be stifled simply by burning books.

The index is no longer in force. Besides, not all the books are bad, per se, but are inaccurate on certain aspects of reality. Besides, that's :offtopic:

As for Fahrenheit 451, My comments have to do with the end of the story, something I'll have to refrain from saying until you get there. :)

I am aware that the Index was abrogated, but I'd like to see it re-instituted.
