(Spoilers be ahead for the Martian Chronicles!)
Do you remember the story Usher 2? A guy builds a fancy mechanical house filled with famous literary characters, especially Edgar Allen Poe influenced. However, the censorship committee strictly prohibits monsters and fantasy of any sort. Books have been burned without the censors actually reading them.
(By the way, is this referring in Fahrenheit 451?)
I sometimes wonder if something like that will happen, what with the censorship nowadays. Harry Potter makes children worship Satan, books about vampires will make kids want to see blood, violent murder-mysteries will make our kids want to get a knife and stab their parents, yada, yada, yada...
Bradbury was truly ahead of his time when he wrote it. Do you think it could one day become reality?
