Only Fahrenheit I know is Fahrenheit 9/11 but the number seems familiar, I'll bite, the height of the World Trade Centre was 451m? Probably wrong, but...

Correct. Famous fantasty/horror/science fiction writer who wrote The Martian Chronicles and the illustrated Man amongst others. Fahrenheit 451 is a story about a dystopian society where books have been outlawed by a government fearing an independent-thinking public and a fireman whose duty iti s to burn any found.
