Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is a dytopian novel that takes place 2300's. In the novel Bradbury had many devices that were similar to modern day devices. Such as seashell radios, and wall screens. He also had a exaggerated version of the society that we have today where nobody really interacts with each other, virtual reality is reality for some people, and nobody reads books. I didn't really expect to like this book but it was definately the best book we have read in honors english so far. I'm also really looking forward to the remake of 1966 movie version of this book. I know it will be amazing and I also know it will fit in great with what is popular these days. Hopefully they will have a good cast and a big enough budget to make it as good as it has the potential to be. Overall, this was an amazing book with a really eye opening message.
