Could someone please elaborate on this? What's with 1984? 451 F means they say the earth gets too hot in the future? Brave New World is the New World Order happening right now?
Fahrenheit 451 is the title of a book by Ray Bradbury. This is the temperature at which newspaper catches fire. It's a dystopian world where knowledge is controlled. 1984 is another book about a dystopian world, where the government is in total control of what everyone thinks. And guess what, so is Brave New World. These are great classics and you should read them, you'd understand a ton of cultural references.
PS The graphic is called a Venn diagram and is another basic concept: we are in a dystopia combining features of the other three,
Personally, I like animal farm more than 1984. It seems more accessible and it actually walks you through a (sort of) society going from functional if imperfect into a tyrannical hellhole.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad book, far from it. It's more a matter of personal taste and (in my opnion) utility than a question of the work itself. Both are great reads.
they are all dystopian fictional books where the government has absolute control over the people. when they were written they were meant to be warnings, but far too much of it has become true.
1984 was not supposed to be a blueprint!
We’re surrounded by illiterate fools

...and burns.
Yes, that's what "catches fire" means.
Just quoting the book's first page.
Ah. That’s why. Thank you for the clarification
I want different books to be paralleling our country. Sooner than later.

Orwell was more than prescient. His original title for the book was "1948." (It was published in 1949.)

Thank you :) now I know.
