"Mit Fahrenheit 451 hält Ray Bradbury der Gegenwart ein Zerrbild vor. Er zeigt die Gefahren die dem Menschen aus dem heutigen Stand von Zivilisation und Technisierung drohen. In der Utopie Bradburys wird der Mensch vollends überwältigt. In der Wohnung ist die betäubende Geräuschkulisse des Rundfunks allgegenwärtig; Fernsehwände umgeben die Bewohner mit ablenkender Gesellschaft und absorbierendem Geplauder. Werbesprüche hämmern die letzten Ansätze zu eigenen Gedanken aus dem Gehirn. Die Gedankenlosigkeit garantiert den Menschen ihr fades Glück. Darum dürfen sie nicht zur Besinnung kommen, nicht die Ruhe finden, die ihnen Gelegenheit zum Denken gibt. Vor allem aber müssen sie vor Büchern bewahrt bleiben, die vom Denken zeugen."
