what is the setting of the book fahrenheit 451?

Answer 1

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury takes place in and around an unspecified city sometime in the twenty-first century; there have been two atomic wars since 1990.

Answer 2

F 451 takes place sometime in the future, in what we can assume is the United States (or what used to be the U.S.).

Answer 3

One of the premises of 451 is that it has no designated time or place. It simply exists, presumably because the author wished to show how the ideas behind his novel are applicable to any society or culture. What are your ideas RE: the mechanical hound? it interested me, but i couldnt really understand its meaning.

Answer 4

One of my favourite books by a wonderful author
It's an eerie and prophetic novel of a future where happiness is allocated on a TV screen, where individuals, eccentrics and scholars are outcasts of society and where books - the cause of all unhappiness and disruption - are burned by a special task force of fireman. It's the story of Montag, trained by the state to be a destroyer, who one day begins to read a book.
The title is from the temperature that paper burns.

Answer 5

It's set in a futuristic society that is not very technologically advanced at all. Books have been declared illegal and firemen go around burning books -- that's their job. A group of renegades have set themselves to the memorization of books within their organization in order to preserve them.
