The simple message is "Don't spend your money on things you don't really own, because you'll be at forever war with the lenders".

Last stop on this train is either "seize the means of production" or hiding in the woods

Funny you should say hiding in the woods. The closing scene in the film of Fahrenheit 451 is a group of people preserving books by memorising them and hiding in the woods.

Why did you mention the film, not the book? Considering the closing scene is the same, iirc.

I haven't finished reading the book yet. I realise the irony in that.

If you have trouble letting people mention a movie, you're a part of the problem

If you have trouble spilling uninvited diagnosis for Internet strangers, start with yourself, yeah.

I have no issues with the author mentioning the film, not the book. I was rather curious why not the book, but the film, solely because of this ‘wood’ story told in both. The author said they haven’t finished the book yet, so that’s fine with me. I just find it ironic they did not mention the book (and the author too), considering the story it tells.
