out come is not always so good. When someone tries to fix one thing, another thing can get ruined. In the science fiction novel, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, one individual attempts to change the society’s perspective on the idea of censoring books. This was an action that turned into disaster. In the story, a fireman named Guy Montag can’t stand going to work every day to burn books. He decides to quit his job, read many books, and share his knowledge with the society he lives in. The social order Bradbury creates in this novel is one which depends on technology and materialistic items, but cannot realize that the importance of thought is what they really need in their daily lives.

Thought is the one expression of free will that a person cannot be deprived of without his or her consent. Bradbury applies

Technology is like brain cancer; it takes over one cell and then slowly spreads into others until it takes complete control of everything so that the victim cannot think. Bradbury illustrates this when he writes, “ ‘The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn’” (56). The author is trying to show us that every little thing that gets improved makes man lazier than before. As a result, even the smallest thing makes a difference in how efficient one is. When Beatty goes to Guy’s house and explains this to him, Guy realizes for the first time that his society is hooked to technology. Bradbury writes, “ ‘The fact is, we didn’t get along well until photography came into its own. Then - motion pictures in the Twentieth Century. Radio. Television. Things begin to have mass’” (54). Before technology came about, people had more time to bond wit
