I lamented not reading this sooner, but I think it worked out better this way. I don't think it would have resonated nearly as well to my teenage self as it does to me today. Hard to believe that the book is 60 years old when it continues to be even more relevant today. It never hurts to be reminded that popular culture and technology do have their place, but nothing can replace education, talking and connecting with other people, and thinking for yourself.

*Also - Bradbury totally predicted earbuds.
