Ep-41 Fahrenheit 451 (1953 novel) part two

The troubling concepts and ideas of Ray Bradbury’s prescient 1953
Sci-Fi classic Fahrenheit 451 come to a stirring
crescendo in the last two parts of the novel. This episode covers
part two: The Sieve and the Sand, and part three: Burning Bright.


Ideas include: The confluence of religion and capitalism, those
who build vs those who burn in society, the superficiality of
some voters, the staggering effect of poetry on someone who has
never heard it, Montag’s shocking turn against Beatty, the danger
of state-run news agencies and propaganda, and the surprisingly
grim and melancholy end to the novel and what Bradbury was trying
to say with it. 


Luke and James finish by checking in with Reddit to see what the
internet has come up with, then make some predictions for what
they might expect in HBO’s upcoming film adaptation starring
Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon.
