Nothing New Under the Sun (Fahrenheit 451)
NextStage: Predictive Intelligence, Persuasion Engineering, Interactive Analytics and Behavioral Metrics I'm taking a few days to reread Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. The first time I read it was in Ms. Johnson's English class (high school), then again sometime during my mid-20s. This time I'm reading it because it's simply good reading.

Like all good speculative fiction, Fahrenheit 451 is both highly prophetic and highly laughable. It presages iPods, HDTV, road rage, Wikipedia, OnDemand TV, birth by Caesarian to minimize impact on mom's schedule, YouTube, ... Quite a bit. It also suggests that a good yearly income will be a few thousand dollars a year. I've thought about suggesting it to readers several times and backdown until I read this:

"Number one, as I said, quality of information. Number two: leisure to digest it. And number three: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two."

This really got my attention.

I'll admit to being vain but this has nothing to do with my presaging anything. More likely its an example of seeds planted long ago (high school and my mid-20s were long ago) bearing fruit.
Sometimes without our knowing it, the future comes back to haunt us.
