24th century ?

Hey... Fahrenheit 451 sure was a scary book... I sure wouldn't want to live in a world like that :P

Hmm, I know the story takes place in the future, but is it stated anywhere in the book exactly when it's taking place ?

On the short summary here on this website, it says it takes place in the 24th century, but I don't recall it being mentioned in the book...

If the summary is accurate, then where exactly in the book is it stated ? :O
