Will the federal government make a policy to forbid people reading books tomorrow? You must say it is not possible. But listen carefully to Ray Bradbury, the author of “Fahrenheit 451”, you may change your perspective because some of his predictions, which happen in Fahrenheit society, are truly happening in the United States. Here, I would like to share four similarities between Fahrenheit society and modern society.
The first similarity is that people in both Fahrenheit society and our society are addicts of electronic products. People in the Fahrenheit society are big fans of the wall TVs. They go to sleep with the earbuds in their ears. Unfortunately, the situation in our society is absolutely worse. Except for much more diversified TV shows and earbuds, we have smartphones, computers, game consoles and so on. The people in Fahrenheit society spend time with electronic products in spare time.

People in Fahrenheit society barely think and doubt the information they received from the government. You may feel lucky because the federal government still has not controlled the media in the United States.

Furthermore, People in Fahrenheit society depend on some superficial reasons to elect their presidents. I don’t think we are smarter than them because if we were, the campaign teams don’t spend so much time and money to take care and design the appearance of the president
