Fahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury.

Bradbury has stated that the novel is not about censorship, but a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature, which leads to a perception of knowledge as being composed of factoids, partial information devoid of context.

Bradbury notes in his afterword that he noticed, after the book was published, that Montag is the name of a paper company.

In the afterword of a later edition, Bradbury notes that the film adaptation changed the ending so that Clarisse ( who, in the film, is now a 20-year-old school teacher who was fired for being unorthodox ) was living with the exiles.

Bradbury notes in his afterword that Faber is part of the name of a German manufacturer of pencils, Faber-Castell.

The novel is frequently interpreted as being critical of state-sponsored censorship, but Bradbury has disputed this interpretation.

Bradbury went even further to elaborate his meaning, saying specifically that the culprit in Fahrenheit 451 is not the state — it is the people.
