 * Ray Bradbury**

Unlike most authors whose works we have read, Bradbury is still alive. He writes not only SciFi, but also Fantasy and Mystery. It is also worth noting that he does not travel by car, claiming cars to be a more dangerous weapon than firearms. This may be related to his contempt for television seen in Fahrenheit 451. This leads me to believe he is an Anti-Asimov of sorts, as he doesn't necessarily want us to fully embrace technology. - **Jon Erdman**

Fahrenheit 451 was titled so, because paper burns around 450 degrees **CELSIUS** depending upon the quality of the paper. However, Bradbury liked the word Fahrenheit more. //Nick Scarth//

//Some background information on the book:// "**Fahrenheit 451** was written at a time when censorship was very much a reality both abroad and at home. In Nazi Germany, Hitler had tried to control the thoughts of the masses by burning thousands of books that he saw as a threat to his regime. In the Communist Soviet Union, Stalin did much the same thing, censoring materials that reflected badly on him or his government." -Brooke Miller



Just a picture of a "seashell" or as we know it an earpiece. Brandon Tanner.
