Reply to comment by ggill1313 in TIL that Fahrenheit 451, a book about a distopian future where books are banned and burned, was banned and burned by the apartheid regime in South Africa with other tens of thousands. by open_closet
Bradbury himself, early on, described censorship as a theme of the book. It is indeed a valid interpretation.

Read my comment below. I’ve thoroughly outlined what Bradbury said inspired the book, redditor.
