Fahrenheit 451
Overview & Summary
In a future society where books are banned and "firemen" burn any that are found, fireman Guy Montag begins secretly questioning his job after meeting a curious young neighbor and witnessing a woman choose to burn alive with her forbidden books rather than surrender them. Montag's growing doubt sets him on a collision course with his own oppressive, anti-intellectual society. Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel is one of the most famous cautionary tales about censorship and the erosion of critical thought.
