@rapidash 451 is the temperature at which books burn. The protagonist is a professional fireman. His job is to go around and extinguish all of the flame-wars by burning whole libraries in a systematic and safe fashion. It is a terrible book and should be banned. Point of note: Paper actually burns at 451 degrees Celsius. 100C is 212F. 0C is 32F. 451 times 1.8 plus 32 is 843.8 degrees of Fahrenheit. It would seem that either the author was stupid, or he is a troll.
