* WorldOfDumbass: Captain Beatty reveals that society chose to ban books in a bout of widespread PoliticalOvercorrectness, which has resulted in televisions that take up whole rooms (with screens making up entire walls) becoming a major form of recreation; it's implied, among other things, that this paradigm shift towards television has led to an increase in violent crime, has made elections easier to manipulate, and has given several people (including Montag's wife) unhealthy parasocial relationships with the characters on TV.

* SymbolicBaptism: Montag escapes from the firemen searching for him with the hound by hiding in a river to disguise his scent. Floating along for an hour is how he manages to get out of the unnamed city and its dystopian anti-knowledge society where he was a fireman himself helping to oppress others for all his life. When he emerges downstream he meets the Book People and starts a new life with them as a guardian of knowledge, safekeeping the contents of the book he memorised earlier.
