In the book Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, the author predicts the future of today’s society. Bradbury predicted the future of today’s technology and societal issues. Some technology from the book that is similar to today is the small electronic earpieces that fit into peoples’ ears to communicate with people; nowadays, it exists and people call it Bluetooth.

We were making our way to the doors slowly. While killing every walker in sight and range, we fought our way through the horrendous herd of walkers. Guts, flesh, and meat went flying out to every direction with every swing of the baseball bats that we had. I fancied a long pipe with scissor blades taped at the end of the pipe. The others decided to go old fashioned and just use a good old, trusty baseball bat. I’ve been dreaming of this day ever since I’ve started watching The Walking Dead. We’ve been killing walkers non stop. I was lucky enough to have found Thomas walking around the halls. Finally, the doors were barricaded, and the final battle of the second trial came close. I had to finish this. Deus and Onaga, the two deities gave me hints on where to go. I followed their wishes and went to the chorus room. Again, more danger was there. This was Olivia’s class… Why is it that everytime I go do a trial for these deities, I always end up in Olivia’s room. Chapter 9 : FROM START TO FINISH
