Ray Bradbury is one of the great science fiction writers of the 20th century. In Fahrenheit 451, he portrays a society that has given up on independent thinking, interaction with others, and the natural world itself. His vision of technology coupled with human desire for progress - ultimately leading to our degradation - is a controversial theme that remains relevant to this day.

Storyboard Text
- KNOWLEDGE vs IGNORANCE
- EXPLANATION
- EVIDENCE
- CENSORSHIP
- From the beginning, the people in this futuristic society have the perception of 'knowledge'. From the large role of media in the society to the interactive TV dramas that incorporate the viewer, the people appear well-connected and informed.
- However, this is not true; society has immersed themselves in the media to the point that they have become ignorant. Instead of thinking deeply and gaining knowledge from books and education, they have retreated into shallow feelings and media.
- Censorship refers to the examination of books, movies, letters, etc., in order to remove things that are considered offensive, immoral, harmful to society, and so on. In the novel, books are banned because the government believes they are dangerous to society.
- People's thoughts as well as their actions are censored. When Montag tries to explain his curiosity with books to his wife, she turns him into the authorities out of fear.
