Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites and burns. Philosophical dystopia Bradbury paints a hopeless picture of the development of post-industrial society. This is the world of the future, in which all written publications are ruthlessly destroyed by a special detachment of firefighters, and the possession of books is prosecuted by law, interactive television successfully serves to fool everyone, punitive psychiatry decisively deals with rare dissidents, and an electric dog goes on the hunt for incorrigible dissidents ... A novel that brought world fame for its creator. The philosophical anti-utopia of Ray Bradbury paints a hopeless picture of the development of a post-industrial society. A novel that brought world fame to its creator. Sensational was Bradbury's claim in 2007 that Fahrenheit 451 was misunderstood. This book is not about government censorship, this is a story about how television destroys the interest in reading books. In the early 1950s, most Americans did not see television, but Bradbury predicted a new era of freedom, prosperity and entertainment, when the desire to be happy, multiplied by political correctness, would lead to a ban on books. “Colored people don't like the Little Black Sambo book. Burn it... White people don't like Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn her too. Someone wrote a book about smoking predisposing to lung cancer. Tobacco manufacturers are in a panic. Burn this book. ... A book is a loaded gun in a neighbor's house. Burn her! Unload your gun!"
