His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic novel of a post-literate future, 'Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's '1984' and Huxley's 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.Hide synopsis

Like The Martian Chronicles and Dandelion Wine, this is another Bradbury that's life-changingly brilliant. And holds up - I'd not read it in about 25 years and was still captivated.

I have read a few dystopian novels throughout the years, mainly Brave New World and 1984. I kept hearing a good bit about Fahrenheit 451 so I decided to check it out. It was hard to get into at first but as you continue reading it you wind up liking it a great deal. It is not exactly Brave New World ...
