Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury – Episode 44

Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury

Fahrenheit 451 tells of a future where books have been banned and entertainment is designed to dull the senses of the masses. A fireman named Montag goes from burning books to discover what has been lost by his society. He must make a choice of what he will do with his discovery and it could cost him everything.

What can I say, we love dystopian sci-fi books. At almost 70 years old this book holds up almost too well as we see a vision of our own future. Disconnected by their earbuds and their reality TV, this book serves as a warning of things possibly to come.
