I think both F451 and 1984 had tvs that were listening to you and recording you, right?

F451 had the "Parlour", a room in the house with full sized wall screens that were interactive so you could do things like act in plays with other people in their own house doing the same thing.

Basically, books were made illegal so that the government could control the narrative and change it whenever they wanted with no proof of it ever being changed.

It's a good thing we don't have 24/7 propaganda being shoved at us in reality... 🫪
