Fahrenheit 451

The novella by the famous American sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury "Fahrenheit 451" was written more than half a century ago, but it has not lost its relevance to this day. Its leitmotif is the concern for the spiritual shape of... the future. The future, as seen by Bradbury, is rather bleak: a totalitarian state where any dissent is suppressed. Advertising, endless TV shows - that is all a person needs for serene happiness. So decided the state, and it protects its citizens to the extent of its understanding: talking to each other means thinking, books declare thinking, therefore, in order not to disturb the peace of the common people, they must be burned. Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper burns.
