Remember in Fahrenheit 451 where Guy Montag's partner is glued to the Wall? A screen where she participates in her favorite shows and the audience and cast members talk directly to her?
Read in a modern context I don't think Guy was merely burning books in service to an authoritarian government. I think he kept the books because he was becoming an outsider. He didn't want to participate in the world of the Wall and consent to the expectations and norms of his society. And the firemen were there to ensure everyone participated.
