Lets be honest here, Fahrenheit 451 was clearly written because 1984 was such a big hit a few years before.

Considering what the author has repeatedly claimed the book was ACTUALLY about, 1984 wouldn't have influenced it in the slightest in terms of themes.

That being said, neither was was the first dystopian future story ever written with a fascist government in control. Brave New World (the other story 1984 always gets compared to) came out nearly 20 years earlier (and that wasn't the first one either).
