We are living in a strange mixture of 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World

>Fahrenheit 451

We are quite far away from that. On the contrary knowledge is preserved better than ever.

Anna's Archive estimates they have preserved 16% of the world's books, all available to download with an internet connection.

On the other hand, I can see the side of Fahrenheit 451 where the people don't value books which is what allowed the book burning in the first place.

		Like you said in the second part: people don't want to know anymore and just want to watch "game shows". No one is forbidding anything like in the other books. Doom scrolling is peak Fahrenheit.

		If you need to point to Anna's Archive for knowledge preservation, then we as a society are not intentionally preserving knowledge, quite the opposite actually.
