    I think Bradbury would have written a novel dealing with the same issues that were represented in the book. While certainly some of the situations would have to be updated for our time in society, our culture still has many of the same issues.

    Consumerism in America is still a topic of much discourse in relation to the decline of culture in our society. We still have debates over censorship, book banning, political upset, government interference, and technological fears.

    Some aspects of the novel would have to be changed, but the underlying  themes and concerns are still relevant today.
