The RIP Famous Person Thread

[Cujo]

Died aged 91 in California. Most famous for Fahrenheit 451 a novel about book burning.

He wrote “Fahrenheit 451” at the UCLA library, on typewriters that rented for 10 cents a half hour. He said he carried a sack full of dimes to the library and completed the book in nine days, at a cost of $9.80.

In the above work he predicted the use of "sea shells" that played music to keep the stupid occupied. Bit like Ipods.
