I’m almost done reading Dostoevsky’s The Idiot and was looking to read a dystopian sci-fi (Fahrenheit 451 being one of my options). I think you have sold me on this novel.

In Jake Meador’s most recent Mere Orthodoxy article he referenced Paul and Martin’s interview. That’s twice within a week it has been mentioned to me. I will most definitely give this interview a listen now!

Your reflections on Fahrenheit 451 reminded me of a lyric that has left no small impression on my life since I first heard it. The first verse begins with “bodies in sway to melody absent of rhythm”, and towards the end of the verse, the lyrics are “black mirror scripture imparts / in a world as foreign to us as our own hearts.” I have never looked at technology and our culture in the same way since.

I’m quite partial to your reflections on The Last Airbender. That was my childhood!

I enjoy this new format. God bless you, brother!
