I saw also the movie, also a movie with similar content, Equilibrium. 451ºF is the temperatur when Paper begins to burn.

451ºF is the temperatur when Paper begins to burn.

Apparently this is not actually true, paper will burn at much lower temperatures than that which when you think about it is kind of obvious, otherwise you wouldn't be able to set paper on fire with a lit match, you would need an accelerant, as wood starts burning at 400F.

The title is refered to the temperature needed to burn books. "Who burn books, soon also burn people".

Currently very actual in the US
