F451 book6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() While it is a fantastic read, it is chilling, frightening, and even disturbing, as the society's enslavement to technology sounds far too close to reality. One of the most brilliantly written books I have ever read. The Mechanical Hound, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who dare to defy society by preserving and reading books. ![]() ![]() Yet Montag is unhappy – and when he starts to the question the society around him, he is led down a very dangerous path. Books are banned, as they are the source of all unhappiness. Whenever and wherever books are found, Montag and the other firemen go and burn them. Guy Montag is a fireman – but he doesn't put out fires. The society is presented as addicted to pleasure, with complete disregard for anything else it is also anti-intellectual, and the largest outworking of this is the destruction of all books. ![]() It tells of a future American society that is now a dystopia, oppressed by the state from any freedom. Fahrenheit 451 is a short science fiction novel, written by Ray Bradbury, and published in 1953. ![]()
