FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury

DESCRIPTION

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a seminal work in science fiction, set in a dystopian future. Nearly seventy years after its release, Fahrenheit 451 remains a powerful commentary on society.

Guy Montag, a fireman, is tasked with burning books, the most illegal commodities, along with the homes hiding them. He never questions his destructive role, returning daily to his monotonous life with his wife, Mildred, who is absorbed in her television “family.”

However, when Montag encounters Clarisse, an eccentric young neighbor, his perspective shifts. She introduces him to a past where fear wasn’t pervasive and to a present enriched by the ideas found in books rather than mindless television chatter. This meeting sparks a revelation in Montag, prompting him to reconsider everything he’s ever known. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is a timeless piece of science fiction that challenges readers to reflect on the world around them.
