Challenging Destiny - Fahrenheit 451. Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review by James Schellenberg. "Fahrenheit 451 is one of Bradbury's most famous books, and it reads like a fever dream -- intensely cinematic, directed by its own weird dream logic, and full of the quality of images that haunt you for days. ... The book is divided into three sections: 'The Hearth and the Salamander' introduces Montag at home and at work; 'The Sieve and the Sand' finds Montag increasingly disillusioned with his society; and 'Burning Bright' concerns Montag's escape and the eventual end of the society he left behind."

The Failure of Fahrenheit 451. Article by Jeremy Smith, Director of Financial Services at the Independent Press Association. Published on 13 October 2003 in Strange Horizons (www.strangehorizons.com), a weekly web-based magazine of and about speculative fiction. "Let's call it Cassandraism, after the daughter of Troy whose prophecies were not believed. ... Fahrenheit 451 has devolved into a near-total fiasco ... Today, no firemen roam the land literally burning books ... but they are merely a dramatization of Bradbury's true fears."
The incendiary prophet by David T. Wright. On Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Wright comments: "In it he managed to predict with frightening accuracy such current social pathologies as the dumbing down of popular entertainment and education, our growing addiction to empty sensory stimulation, the rise of random violence among youth, the increasing anomie and alienation among everyone, the cult of pharmaciæ, the cult of consumerism ... The amazing thing is that he did it more than 40 years ago."

Harry Potter and the Ministry of Fire by David Serchuk, from Forbes Special Report: Books. "In August 2003, two Michigan pastors, T.D. Turner Sr. and son T.D. Turner Jr., took a stand against sorcery by burning a Harry Potter book outside their Jesus Non-Denominational Church. ... One pastor, Douglas Taylor of the Jesus Party in Lewiston, undeterred, slashed and destroyed 12 Potter books instead. ... Ray Bradbury, however, thinks that Taylor is deluded. The 86-year-old author of the anti-censorship novel Fahrenheit 451 is a passionate advocate of free speech and believes Taylor and his ilk are at best clueless about their actions."
