Ray Bradbury is a Pulitzer Prize laureate and a classic of science fiction. His work "Fahrenheit 451" became a response to McCarthyism, which involved the burning of pro-communist literature. It is a cautionary novel. The media may one day convince everyone that firemen have always started fires, rather than extinguishing them. 451 degrees Fahrenheit is 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 is holed up in the living room, the walls of which are replaced by enormous television screens. Are they happy? The question of an eccentric neighbor, who loves flowers and nighttime walks, puzzles the fireman. Something clicks in him. The fireman snatches a book from the flames. And then… a mechanical dog, a live chase, and people-books.
