The setting of this book is really strange. It's set in the future, where everything has changed. People aren't allowed to read books, they have no emotions, no curiosity, and no knowledge about the past. This reminds me of one of my favorite books called, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. "The Giver" is also set in the future, and it's also a novel based on the dystopian topic. This book also has people with no emotions, and knowledge about the past. It seems like the setting is really dark. I guess it's because the tone of the story is dark too. I thought the people in this world are sad. Everything in the story is robotic and mechanical. I hope it's not like this in the future. Cars move super fast, and advertisements are really long. The setting affects the story because since it is set in the future, people knew what sadness came from. I guess part of stress came from books... it creates envy, and different evil feelings. The setting also created the mood of strangeness. Houses were burned, and it definitly created a new atmosphere of the idea of a dystopian world.

i agree that the setting of Farenheit 451 is very strange. this book reminds me of I Robot where it has a similar setting. they have super fast cars!!!! AUDI!!!
