Harrison Bergeson and Fahrenheit 451 was novels that had very similar life stories. They are similar in the sense that they both state men give up, never advance. Bradbury and Vonnegut were also similar because they were both visionaries. An you are probably thinking what is a visionaries? Visionaries is a transmedia company that concepts, curates, and produces art multiples, events, public art installations, film, branded content, apparel, and publications.

However, many people all see the future as having many repercussions on society and life as it is. In the Bradbury story, a nuclear war had destroyed at least this one town, leaving behind almost no traces of life besides the dog, which eventually dies.

Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains (Vonnegut,1961).
