What if the government today would take all of our electronics away and not only take them away but they would destroy all of them? What would your reaction be to these events taking place around you? What if you were the person that the government had chosen to destroy all of the electronics?

These two ideas are always crossing paths, for example in the first paragraph of the story we already see censorship in the form of burning books, but without the defiance of the people that decide to keep books, there wouldn 't be a point to have censorship. I thinking the ultimate meaning in the text is that without defiance, there would be no point to have
