Fahrenheit 451-Q. 5

Considering that Fahrenheit 451 was written in a futuristic tense, I don't think that there is any history that will match up with it, or at least not now. Many authors around the time that this book was written would write about a futuristic city or state of what life will be like fifty years from now. Some even wrote of a time much farther away than fifty years. Some of them wrote of a lifetime like thousands of years from now. When we are able to fly from place to place and not having to worry about paying for gas because we will use the sun as our infinant source of energy.
I enjoyed this book because I enjoy books that take place in a futuristic state. I am all for the future and the curve balls it will throw at us. These books make me really geeky and enjoy different cool gadgets that will be invented. When books are written from a future setting I get anxious and can't stop reading. The reason being that I can't wait til the author throws out a really cool idea of a toy or tool that hasn't been invented yet, but sounds likely to be made someday. Even if it isn't likely to be possible to even be made I enjoy imagining things like that.
Saying that this book wasn't hard to pick up and read and I always got hooked on it and couldn't stop reading it. I liked it a lot, but the main reason for new cool gadgets only happened a few times and even those weren't very good. My favorite thought was the invention of a television wall. The fact of being able to invent a four dimensional television is amazing. They will be very exciting if it is possible when invented. It will mean being able to interact with the shows on television! I'm excited about it so much now I want one.
