From The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury’s 1949 sci-fi classic: #Booksky

Excerpt from The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury:
"Heartlessly. They passed a law. Oh, it started very small. In 1999 it was a grain of sand. They began by controlling books of cartoons and then detective books and of course, films, one way or another, one group or another, political bias, religious prejudice, union pressures; there was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves."
