Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, was published in 1953. 1984, written by Goerge Orwell, was published in 1949. Both the books came out less than a decade after the termination of WWI, are set in dystopian worlds with high technological advancements, and ventures around the life of a middle aged man getting tired of the new world order. But that's where the comparison stops and the story begins.
