Fahrenheit 451

These are things I read that i think will be important for understanding this book.

• "Discussions about Fahrenheit 451 often center on its story foremost as a warning against state-based censorship."
• "He did not believe that book burning was an inevitable part of our future, he wanted to warn against its development" "Fahrenheit 451 is set in an unspecified city" The author believes this is a possible thing and that it can happen anywhere
• " the real messages of Fahrenheit 451 were about the dangers of an illiterate society infatuated with mass media and the threat of minority and special interest groups to books."
• " the government is able to use mass media to influence society and suppress individualism"
• "...the American population is to blame. Due to their constant desire for a simplistic, positive image, books must be suppressed."
