Ursa Majoris Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 RIP. You were right. Fahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury. The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed.[1] The novel has been the subject of various interpretations, primarily focusing on the historical role of book burning in suppressing dissenting ideas. Bradbury has stated that the novel is not about censorship, but a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature, which leads to a perception of knowledge as being composed of factoids, partial information devoid of context.[2] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
