Next up: Speaking at Walnut Creek Library
I'm speaking tomorrow at the Walnut Creek Public Library (here) about Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the choice for Walnut Creek's citywide book club. Event is free if you'd like to come.
Topics I've been thinking about:
- What censorship means when, putatively at least, everyone has an internet connection?
- How Ray Bradbury both imagined the future and feared it.
- Is facism different when largely practiced by ordinary people rather than mandated from authority?
- Censorship as a class issue.
Will share complete presentation afterwards. Speak then.
