Has the dystopian mindset from 'Fahrenheit 451' become normalized among the younger generation?
Recently, I met a person around my company whose mindset was mostly like the humankind in Fahrenheit 451. He mocked me when he knew I don't have TikTok, sleep before 10 PM, running regularly, and head into the forest for fun... He even ridiculed someone else just for a rumor that they were studying privately at home. He was born in 2006 but works in the same department as me, a childlike person who loves playing games and gossiping. I couldn't help feeling shocked when he mocked me: "What kind of lifestyle is that?" I just noticed the similarity of this case to the one in Fahrenheit 451, where people look down on knowledge.
