F451 had the "Parlour", a room in the house with full sized wall screens that were interactive so you could do things like act in plays with other people in their own house doing the same thing.
Basically, books were made illegal so that the government could control the narrative and change it whenever they wanted with no proof of it ever being changed.
It's a good thing we don't have 24/7 propaganda being shoved at us in reality...
Wasnt the thing in 451 that the book-bans (and burns) werent started by the government, but the population?
