Fahrenheit 451: The Future Isn’t Bright‚ It’s Burning Censorship happens all around us‚ even if most don’t realize it. People always think of it as some far off concept‚ something that only happens in dictatorships or in Communism‚ such as in North Korea‚ but as Fahrenheit 451 shows us‚ it is much closer to home than one might think.
