Episode description as stored

In 1951, Ray Bradbury imagined a 21st century in which books were banned, huge screens playing mindless slop dominated home living rooms, and people preferred to zone out with drugs and entertainment rather than deal with the world around them. This week, Rebecca and Jeff explore what made Fahrenheit 451 an instant hit, why it still feels fresh today, and how a society's attitudes about books can be a symptom of deeper problems.
