"Fondly Fahrenheit" was written and published in the era of the post-WW2 recovery and the Korean War from 1950-53. Science and technology were advancing in leaps and bounds. The cold war against communism was in full swing and Joe McCarthy was performing his version of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" in the Senate.
Bester's story took aim at Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" by introducing an android that killed and destroyed property under particular conditions. It blended commentary on the insanity of war, the role of technology in the age of "duck and cover" being practiced in schools, and how things can get sidetracked (intentionally or not) by a human with fundamental issues in their own wiring. The story was also one of the earlier examples of bringing in psychoanalysis and psychology in general to a mainstream science fiction tale.
The odd thing that threw me the first time I ever read the story was the constantly shifting viewpoint character. One minute it was the android, next it was the owner -- sometimes in the adjacent sentence. I initially thought it was an alien who could jump between bodies until Bester brought out a logical reason for the havoc. It also showed that Asimov's rules would work just fine as long as the android or robot was functioning properly.
It seems a little warm in here. All reet! All reet!
