What will Montag do after the war? Will he stay with his new friends,
“the books,” traveling and sharing his message from Ecclesiastes with
whomever will listen? Will he break off with them to search for Clarisse
and/or Mildred? Will he try to keep his appointment with Professor Faber
in St. Louis? And if those two do meet, will they carry out their plot involving
the retired printer and planting books in firemen’s homes? Imagine the course
of action you hope that Montag will take and write your own epilogue to the novel.

in this 24th century society is done through automation,
humans have lost the ability to do even the simplest of tasks.

of a society being automated? What technologies do we have
today that could be harmful to society. Please explain in detail.
