Imagine a world where all books are destroyed. It’s a Ray Bradbury dystopia of Fahrenheit 451 coming to life.
Look at your precious bookshelf. See the titles that have moved your heart and imagine someone dumping them in the street and setting fire to them. See your shelf, empty and collecting dust.
Imagine a government that closes all bookstores, replacing them with news outlets that spread fear and anxiety.
Imagine a world where authors lose the courage to share their voices due to public backlash and intolerance.
Imagine a world without books, and you can understand why books matter so very very much.
Until next time, read slowly – take notes – apply the ideas.
