Why
‘Fahrenheit 451’ Is the Book for Our Social Media Age
[Kip
Currier: Looking forward to seeing this May 19th-debuting HBO adaptation of Ray
Bradbury's ever-timely Fahrenheit 451 cautionary intellectual freedom
tale, starring Michael B. Jordan as a
book-burning-fireman-turned-book-preserver.]
"Burning books in the film posed a legal challenge. The cover art of most
books is protected by copyright, and in most cases we were unable to
obtain permission to display it — let alone burn it on camera. So the
art directors for my film designed countless original book covers that
we could burn."
Issues and developments related to IP, AI, and OM, examined in the IP and tech ethics graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology", coming in Summer 2025, includes major chapters on IP, AI, OM, and other emerging technologies (IoT, drones, robots, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR).
