like Montag. And just like Montag, he took action ± he read. What makes Beatty such a powerful force in

this novel is that, actually, he makes a decent point in his anti-book ravings. Literature is contradictory. It

is confusing. It is treacherous, it will mix you up, it will force you to answer questions you never wanted

to ask, and it will quite often pull the rug out from under your feet.

own. Then motion pictures in the early twentieth century. Radio. Television. Things began to have mass . . .

And because they had mass, they became simpler . . . Once, books appealed to a few people, here, there,

everywhere. They could afford to be different. The world was roomy. But then the world got full of eyes

and elbows and mouths. Double, triple, quadruple population. Films and radios, magazines, books levelled down to a sort of paste pudding norm . . . Picture it. Nineteenth-century man with his horses, dogs, carts, slow motion. Then, in the twentieth century, speed up your camera. Books cut shorter. Condensations, Digests. Tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending . . .

Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column, winding up

at last as a ten- or twelve-line dictionary resume. I exaggerate, of course. The dictionaries were for

reference. But many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet . . . was a one-page digest in a book that

centuries or more . . . Politics? One column, two sentences, a headline! Then, in mid-

about so fast under the pumping hands of publishers, exploiters, broadcasters, that the centrifuge flings off

all unnecessary, time-wasting thought! . . .

SECTION #2

School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling

gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all

about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts?

The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn, a

philosophical hour, and thus a melancholy hour . . .

Empty the theatres save for clowns and furnish the rooms with glass walls and pretty colours running up

and down the walls like confetti or blood or sherry or sauterne . . . and

superorganize super-super sports. More cartoons in books. More pictures. The mind drinks less and less.

Impatience. Highways full of crowds going somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, nowhere. The gasoline

refugee. Towns turn into motels, people in nomadic surges from place to place, following the moon tides,

living tonight in the room where you slept this noon and I the night before . . .

Irishmen, people from Oregon or Mexico. The people in this book, this play, this TV serial are not meant

to represent any actual painters, cartographers, mechanics anywhere.

The bigger your market . . . the less you handle controversy, remember that! All the minor minorities with

their navels to be kept clean. Authors, full of evil thoughts, lock up your typewriters. They did. Magazines

became a nice blend of vanilla tapioca. Books, so the damned snobbish critics said, were dishwater. No

wonder books stopped selling, the critics said. But the public, knowing what it wanted, spinning happily,

let the comic-books survive. And the three-dimensional sex-magazines, of course . . . nment down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God. Today,

With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and

course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar. Surely you remember

you selected for

beatings and tortures after hours? Of course it was. We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and
