Ray Bradbury's philosophical dystopia paints a bleak picture of the development of a post-industrial society. A novel that brought worldwide fame to its creator. Bradbury's sensational statement in 2007 was that "Fahrenheit 451" was misunderstood. This book is not about government censorship, it is a story about how television destroys interest in reading books. In the early 1950s, most Americans had never seen a television set, but Bradbury predicted a new era of freedom, prosperity, and entertainment, when the desire to be happy, combined with political correctness, would lead to the banning of books. "People of color don't like the book "Little Black Sambo". Burn her. White people don't like "Uncle Tom's Hut." Burn her, too. Someone wrote a book about how smoking predisposes 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! Empty the gun!"
