Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
About Fahrenheit 451:
Nowadays firemen start fires. Fireman Guy Montag loves to rush to
a fire and watch books burn up. Then he met a seventeen-year old girl who told him of a
past when people were not afraid, and a professor who told him of a future where people
could think. And Guy Montag knew what he had to do....
This is Ray Bradbury's best-known novel. The science fiction tale
concerns censorship and anti-intellectualism, carried on in an alternate society that
conducts huge book burnings as part of the social agenda.
