Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury


Imagine a world where owning books is illegal and where, if you are found out, your house will be burned down. In this chilling world of the not too distant future, no-one much cares anyway, as they are all too busy watching their wall-to-wall televisions and listening to their 'seashell' in-ear radios. Sound familiar? It's hard to believe that this book was written back in 1953. Ray Bradbury sounds a warning about the dangers of censorship and the 'dumbing down' of society which is hugely relevant today. Read it and be amazed.
