For this project, we had to record a podcast discussing a question based on either conformity, technology, censorship, or consumerism. Then, we had to make connections between the novelĀ Fahrenheit 451 and the real world. Chloe and I chose to talk about technology and asked, “How have technological advancements impacted our lives?”
Genre is a category of artistic composition which can be characterized by similarities in style, form, or subject matter. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is a fiction. The subgenre of this novel is science fiction. Fahrenheit 451 can be applied to the subgenre of science fiction for five main reasons. First, most science fiction books take place some time in the future. Fahrenheit 451 was written in the early 1950s and he references the atomic wars that happened after 1990 which tells the reader that the book takes place in the future. Second, Fahrenheit 451 describes different technology which ultimately tells the reader that it falls under science fiction. He creates new and exciting technologies such as the green earpiece mentioned throughout the novel. Third, the novel introduces a future American society where books are banned. Fourth, Bradbury completely changes the role of firefighters and makes them burn books to enforce the law which opposes the status quo, where firefighters are supposed to stop fires. Lastly, the novel describes the future dystopian society and its sometimes negative outcomes since they rely on technology so much.
