What is with F-451???

When at times of war and crisis in the past the history points to some unfortunate facts. Censorship and a ban on civil liberties are products of weak regimes. They are in denial of their eminent defeat and use a propaganda to divert attention. In this first chapter there is a reference of war on the horizon with fighter planes flying. There is censorship of thoughts, speech, and action where everybody is kept under vigil. They are using media and the state to promote the message of everyone to be equal but not free. People are fed and raised like machines and they have no self emotions, personal goals or desires.
It is a scary and depressing to be part of that society as per the novel; although, it is a sci-fi-a very chilling scenario. We are made aware by some of the references in the novel of how despicable and brutal times were. There are some in the present World who have experienced those and that is such an irony.
