Utopian vs. Dystopian

Faber's idea of a utopian society would be something like people having more freedom, especially with books. If people want to read and retain information they should be able to. Faber also thinks that people are too involved in the walls and aren't focusing on real world problems. A perfect balance for Faber would be more reading and learning, with little use of technology. Montag says, "I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife; she listens to the walls." This shows that people in this society are so involved in technology. My idea of a perfect society would involve technology, but not have it take over too much. Books would be allowed, but not pressured. Peoples relationships would be true and real, unlike how they are presented in Fahrenheit 451.
