The Censor Keeps a Copy
Twenty years ago, give or take, a friend told me a story he expected me to admire. He was a Latter-day Saint who worked in technology, and he was, as I understood it then, the bishop of his ward, an unpaid office the church gives to laymen who keep their day jobs, so he kept a company's hours all week and presided over a congregation on Sundays. There was a Mormon bookstore he went into often, and one day he walked in and found a new display for Goosebumps, the paperbacks with the dripping green logo about haunted masks, a ventriloquist's dummy with a mind of its own, and a werewolf in a Florida swamp. He spoke to the owner. The owner told him the books were selling well and that those sales were keeping the store alive. My friend pressed him on content, judged the whole series blasphemous, an invitation to the occult at a child's price, and let it be understood that if the titles stayed on the shelf a report would go to the stake president. A week later he came back. The books were gone, the owner was distant and cold, and my friend bought a couple of books, in his own phrase, to make up the difference. He told me this the way another man might tell you he had coached his kid's team to a championship. He was proud. The word I have settled on, twenty years later, is forensic: he had investigated, prosecuted, and won, and he walked out of that store on the high of it. […] -
@aj the ‘book readers’ scene from François Truffaunt, #Fahrenheit451 is playing out in real life <https://vimeo.com/512628957>

Die klügste Widerstandshandlung gegen die Zerstörung von Büchern ist übrigens der Aufbau einer eigenen kleinen (oder sehr großen) #Bibliothek.

J'ai découvert la librairie #Fahrenheit451 à Genève.
Et pour vous dire qu'elle est bien, j'y ai trouvé #bikepunk de @ploum et leur site web est fait avec #odoo ☺️ -
"El Proyecto Panamá es nuestro esfuerzo para escanear de forma destructiva todos los libros del mundo", indicaba el texto filtrado, que más adelante especificaba: "No queremos que se sepa que estamos trabajando en esto".

I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 which I haven't done in many decades and I'm struck now by the constant use of distracting similes and metaphors that Bradbury writes. A woman's face is a snow-covered island on which it might rain, or cloudy face but with sun.
Why is this woman's face a weather report?
Is it just me or have other people discussed this aspect of Bradbury's writing?

@quincy @vfrmedia #Fahrenheit451, here we come! Ray Bradbury, it seems, was a #prophet!

"A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email." 😠

@ainmosni So we’ve entered the age of #Fahrenheit451, but #Ai unlike the second hand book town does not save communities. The automated control and mass production of information just steals all their resources. That’s what antitrust monopolies have always done! #KingRichardOfHayOnWye #AntitrustMonopolies #TheSecondHandBookTown

I got to think of #Fahrenheit451 if AI companies destroy (and burn?) #books now en masse?

Perhaps not with a flame thrower.

Farenheit Ammonite on Stage in Tasmania
Fanny Hanusin, Scout MacDonald, Anna Barber and Matt Langham as the Ammonite
Photo: Darren GillLook what I discovered today:
Acclaimed company Here Theatre has returned with an ensemble of Tasmanian and Victorian theatre makers to develop Fahrenheit Ammonite, a world bending new play by Kit Lazaroo, directed by Dr Jane Woollard. Critics have long admired Lazaroo’s work, calling it “first rate, sometimes clever, sometimes truly inspired”, and “an exemplary demonstration of how theatre can be political and contemporary without being didactic or simplistic” […] The play draws inspiration from Fahrenheit 451, Richard Adams’s Watership Down, and Nicola Griffith’s Ammonite. Lazaroo began the script as a retelling of Bradbury’s novel from Mildred’s perspective, imagining how she might resist the limitations imposed upon her by her creator, and what text she might choose as her own reason to survive. Into Mildred’s journey Lazaroo has woven Clover the Rabbit, and later the endangered Goth from the Planet Jeep, creating a tapestry of voices that challenge, subvert, and expand the canon. — University of Tasmania
So, huh. Not sure what to make of that. Except…cool? Even cooler if they sent me a video. (Just saying, Utas, and Here Theatre.)
The world is a strange place…

There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist, Zionist / Seventh-day Adventist, Women’s Lib / Republican, Mattachine / Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain-porridge unleavened literature licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme.
Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American writer, futurist, fabulist
