CatherineM Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
