About This Book
The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future
where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Guy Montag is
a fireman. 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.
