Fahrenheit 451

Guy Montag works as a fireman in a future society where books are forbidden and fire crews burn the homes in which they are hidden. After meeting a questioning young neighbour, Montag begins to examine the entertainment, surveillance, and enforced conformity that shape his life. His growing doubt places him in conflict with his profession and the authorities he once served. Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel explores censorship, mass media, memory, and intellectual freedom. This physical paperback is best presented as adult science fiction and includes material suitable for mature classroom discussion.
