Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451, was written in the early 1950s as a call to the American people to reflect on how the dominant social values ​​of their time were influencing both the lives of individual Americans that their government. Fahrenheit 451 attacks utopian government and focuses on society's folly in always being politically correct. (Mogen 113). According to Mogen, Fahrenheit 451 depicts a world in which the American dream has turned into a nightmare because it has been superficially understood. (Mogen 107) To understand Bradley's social criticism, it is essential to realize that he wrote Fahrenheit 451 in the aftermath of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, in a political climate that increasingly prioritized security over civil affairs . freedom of individuals (Mogen 124, 114). Because of the Cold War, Americans continually felt threatened by the idea of ​​communism and the idea of ​​hostility from communist countries (Mogen 115). Any association with communism would immediately ostracize an American politician (Mogen 115). In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury shows a utopian, futuristic society where "people don't read books, enjoy nature, spend time alone, think independently, or have meaningful conversations." (Mogen 111). Some sixty years later, some argue that our society has been guilty of similar lapses. (Book Rags) The government in Fahrenheit 451 bans books because it does not appreciate the thoughts that books have created in people's minds. Bradbury's society was too afraid of offending groups of people through literature (Challenging Destiny). Bradbury's has an excellent understanding of the flaws of American society, such as its censorship. The government in Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 is full of flaws because it seeks too much the greater good for everyone and neglects many aspects that characterize the human being. Written in the years following the Second World War, Fahrenheit 451 denounces not only the anti-intellectualism of the defeated Nazi Party in Germany, but more recently the "intellectually repressive political climate of the early 1950s", the era of McCarthyism (Book Rags) . During this period many thousands of Americans were accused of being communists or communist sympathizers and became the subjects of aggressive investigations and interrogations before government or private industry committees, committees, and agencies (Book Rags). As stated by Mogen, “Doubts were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or perceived left-wing associations or beliefs was often greatly exaggerated” (Mogen 107).
