Fahrenheit 451

451° Fahrenheit — the temperature at which paper ignites and burns. Bradbury's philosophical dystopia paints a bleak picture of the development of a post-industrial society: it is a world of the future where all printed publications are ruthlessly destroyed by a special squad of firefighters, and the storage of books is prosecuted by law, interactive television successfully serves the common dumbing down, punitive psychiatry decisively deals with rare dissenters, and an electric dog goes hunting for incorrigible dissidents... The novel that brought its creator worldwide fame.
