Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451 is 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 written publications are ruthlessly destroyed by a special team of firefighters, and storing books is punishable by law. Interactive television successfully serves the general dumbing down, punitive psychiatry decisively deals with the rare dissenters, and an electric dog goes hunting for the irredeemable dissidents…

A novel that brought its creator worldwide fame.
