The desease wiped out a beautiful, wise, and ancient civilization.
The book depicts humankind as mostly violent in nature. Bradbury holds a mirror in front of the reader's face, and the reflected image is not very nice. The science in the book is very soft core (and at times very unrealistic, even con .....

We should have our own decisions on what we want to learn, but it's also not a bad idea to be more educated in other .....

Soon or late the day is coming,

Shall be ours upon the day...(p.22-23)
