I can totally see where F451 gets looped into conversations with 1984. You may disagree with the quality of the writing, but the core of the 2 books is basically the same, the fundamentals of when power corrupts the entire society at the expense of what’s actually true and real.
Audiobooks are my default format as I slip when I read print.
I regularly have a book going in my ear when I’m out running errands or doing chores
