The book “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury is based on a futuristic timeline were everyone uses technology. In there everyday life but in their society books are banned so people don't learn things and try to question the government. In Fahrenheit 451 technology is advanced even more advanced than were are today. Our society has the possibility of turning out like Ray Bradbury’s view of the future. Because though we arent as technologically sophisticated as Ray Bradbury’s depiction of the future. We do have some similarities such as their earshells and our airpods or their talking walls while we have alexa’s and google or siri.
In Fahrenheit 451 they have futuristic hounds which the police use to apprehend people and or kill them. And they don't have normal firefighters because they don’t put out fire instead. They wait for people to call them if they see anybody reading a book to burn them or there house. Our main antagonist Guy Montag is a fireman he has done many bad deeds. Such as burn houses down but later in the story he meets a girl named clarisse who is different than everyone and sees things differently than everyone. She helps montag see differently too and also make him curious about books and what knowledge they have and why they are banned.
In fahrenheit 451 many people are in their own bubble they don't care about much nor do they feel much because of technology. Technology has deeply taken control of Montag’s society. That they have their earshells in their ears at all times listening to the radio. And when their at home they have walls that are like Tvs they have vacuums that vacuum by themselves. People in montag's society don't pay attention to anything that is based about their technology.
Guy Montag end up taking a book and reading he doesn’t know what any of it books so he goes to a man named faber. Who helps montag understand the book because faber secretly reads book at home. Montag’s boss finds out he has a book and tells him to bring it in. But Montag makes a copy of the book which is a bible then he puts books in all the other firefighters houses and anonymously calls and basically black males them. And gets them all fired faber helped in this plan that montag came up with to ruin the firefighters.
This shows how Rad Bradbury's depiction of the future that he imagined isn’t so unrealistic from what we have now and what can happen to our society. And how technology can truly take over our society. Like when we have our earbuds in and minding our own business we don’t pay attention to anything or anyone. That's how people are in fahrenheit 451 because they are so consumed by their technology. They don’t care about anything else. So there is a possibility of technology taking over our society in how far advance we are getting like some of the technology in fahrenheit 451 isn’t so far off of some the the technology we have now.
