In a chilling future, firemen ignite flames instead of putting them out. Welcome to the world of "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, where books are burned to control ideas. Guy Montag, the protagonist, is a fireman who starts to question the morality of his job. As he witnesses the oppression and the loss of independent thinking, he meets a young woman named Clarisse, whose free spirit makes him question everything. Montag starts hoarding books and eventually decides to riot. He escapes to the countryside after a tense face-off and joins a group of scholars who memorize books to preserve knowledge. Together, they witness the totalitarian society collapsing and dream of rebuilding civilization with the knowledge they safeguard. This masterpiece by Ray Bradbury warns against censorship and highlights the importance of literature in society. Would you stand up to protect the freedom to read?
