Ray Bradbury – a Pulitzer Prize winner and a classic of science fiction. His work "Fahrenheit 451" became a response to the McCarthyism policy, which included the burning of pro-communist literature. It is a warning novel. The media may one day convince everyone that firefighters always started fires, rather than extinguished them.
Fahrenheit 451 – the temperature at which paper ignites and burns. The main character has been burning books for 10 years. Sometimes along with their owners. His wife sits confined to the living room, the walls of which are replaced by huge television screens.
Are they happy? The question from the eccentric neighbor, who loves flowers and night walks, puzzles the firefighter. Something clicks inside him. The firefighter snatches a book from the fire. And then... a mechanical dog, a chase in real-time, and people-books
