This sets the scene for a cautionary tale about societal complacency and government control. The culture of this futuristic civilization is described as such: “Everything went on in the tomblike houses… ill-lit by television light, where the people sat like the dead, grey or multicolored light touching their faces, but never really touching them” (Bradbury 60).
