The themes still ring so true today. That alone is monumental. Loved the symbolism and subversion of the “unreality.” It’s thought provoking and Bradbury’s own love letter to literature which I enjoyed a lot.
More world building would have been amazing as the concept is so strong. The story really picked up in Part 3 and it might have been good to have that pace throughout.
A more than deserving classic albeit the writing style isn’t 100% my cup of tea.
