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 future world where all written publications are ruthlessly destroyed by a special firemen squad, and the storage of books is criminalized, interactive television successfully serves to dumb down the masses, punitive psychiatry decisively deals with the rare dissenters, and an electric dog hunts down the incorrigible dissidents...

A novel that brought its creator worldwide fame.
