    Imagine a world in which our brains were not needed, books were forbidden, and in which passion was dismissed as odd. If it was real, you would probably run as far away as you could from that world, as portrayed in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I know I would. But what if I told you that our world is not so different from that world? I believe that Fahrenheit 451 tells us that our present world is well on the road of becoming like the dystopian world of the book because of similarities in both worlds, such as advancing technology, media, and changes in human interaction.…

    1984 is about a parallel world 35 years into the future, in which all nations have been combined into three major countries: Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. London still exists, but it is now a part of Oceania, governed by an entity called the Party, headed by a dominant figure called "Big Brother".
