The eerily prophetic classic novel is set in a near-future world where a specialized task force of firemen burns books.
Guy Montag serves as a fireman, tasked with incinerating books that are deemed illegal, as they are considered the root of all conflict and discontent. Despite this, Montag finds himself discontented; his marriage is fraught with discord. Are there books concealed within his home? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, equipped with a deadly hypodermic needle and accompanied by helicopters, is poised to hunt down those who resist societal norms to safeguard and read books.
This classic narrative of a post-literate society, ‘Fahrenheit 451’ is positioned alongside Orwell’s ‘1984’ and Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ as a prophetic depiction of the enslavement of Western civilization by media, drugs, and conformity.
