书籍介绍
《华氏451度》最锋利之处，不在反乌托邦的惊悚设定，而在一个反直觉的判断：这本书里的人们是主动烧书、主动弃书的。当禁书令不必靠强制就能生效，当人们主动用五分钟速读、爆款视频和竞赛答题填满自己，追求纯粹的效率与快感—— Bradbury 写下的恰恰是这种温水式的自我消亡。正因如此，它比多数同类作品更贴近今天的我们：信息过载而思考稀薄，情绪饱满而判断缺席。不过也要坦白，它的叙事确实仓促、篇幅短促，有人读不下去，也有人嫌立意浅。它适合那些愿意被一句“焚书真爽”刺一下、并追问“我们为何甘愿如此”的读者，而不适合寻求严密世界观推演的科幻迷。

精彩摘录
- "How do you get so empty? He wondered."
- "If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war.If the government is inefficient,top-heavy,and tax-mad,better it be all those than that people worry over it.Peace,Mo"
- "Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity. It was a look, almost, of pale surprise; the dark eyes were so fixed to the world that no move escaped them."
- "So bring on your clubs and parties, your acrobats and magicians, your daredevils, jet cars, motorcycle helicopters, your sex and heroin, more of everything to do with automatic reflex."
- "Mildred, leaning anxiously nervoulsy, as if to plunge, drop, fall into that swarming immensity of color to drown in its bright happiness."
- ""I sometimes think drivers don't know what grass is,or flowers,because they never see them slowly,"she said."
- ""School is shortened,discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories,languages dropped,English and spelling gradually gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work.Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, "
- "He walked out of the fire station and along the midnightstreet toward the subway where the silent air-propelled train slid soundlessly down its lubricated flue in the earth and let him out with a great puff of warm air into the cream-tiled escalator rising to the suburb. Whistling, he let the escala"

“It was a pleasure to burn.” It's the first sentence of this book that attracted me. A fiction with beautiful prose that reflects many phenomenons in morden society.The notion that human self can be a book is inspiring. Could find more here: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/1jkEZlROkldzvcKwf1mrTg

书是人们主动抛弃的，这才是最有效的禁书令。当代人通过各种五分钟读完一本书/公众号/爆款视频了解所谓“知识的精华”，追求纯粹的效率和快感，反观出版业苟延残喘（作者中长篇不行啊…感觉刚铺开设定就没了，人物塑造和短篇一样，除了主角戏份较多还像个活人，其他人都是为了剧情强行安排的人，情节推进太不讲究了，后半段看得相当烦躁
在UCLA的powell library地下室写的反乌托邦经典。一下午读完。I don't usually like dystopian works but this one is decent and inspiring.
Good idea + poor writing
The second part was so beautifully written I could almost forgive the awkward world building at the beginning. But I still have a lot of questions…
大概是年前最后一本书了
虽然反乌托邦小说大差不差
但是好想…
好想抱抱Guy

算是反乌托邦小说中好读的一本，情节简单，一根主线，所以好读；篇幅短小，只有一百多页，所以好读；文字诗意，情景融合，所以好读；但也正因为此，总感觉有些仓促写就，缺少深度。
老爷子的文笔我只能说酣畅淋漓，尤其是Montag逃亡的那一部分写得特别精彩。在新世界到来的前夜，这本书传达的信息格外珍贵。我们确实应该想想，印满各种语言的纸张对我们来说意味着什么呢？只是书籍，还是我们要努力保护和传承的东西？
attention span 越来越短的我汗流浃背……需要分辨这是当下真正的感觉与需要，还是只是更多刺激带来的即时快乐而已
