Paper Summary:

This paper compares two novels by Ray Bradbury," Fahrenheit 451" and "The Martian Chronicles" as examples of a future where colonization is what destroys the very future that is desired. This is alluded to as the result of a colonized mind, a mind that cannot imagine a different way of perceiving reality, or realities that exist outside of human construction. In both books, Bradbury relies on literature as the dominant metaphor for what ignites the imagination and what is ultimately destroyed to preserve what already exists. It is this contradiction of desire and repression that predicts of future of greater violence and destruction than the one that exists today.
