The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic novel of a post-literate future, 'Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's '1984' and Huxley's 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.
Born in Illinois, in 1920, Ray Bradbury remains one of the most prestigious authors of science fiction in the world. His works include such noteworthy titles as The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine and The Machineries of Joy. Fahrenheit 451, his most celebrated work, continues to be one of the bestselling science fiction novels over fifty years after its first publication.

Bradbury’s diverse imaginative talents led him to be appointed as Idea Consultant for the United States Pavilion in 1963 and throughout his life he was an enthusiastic playwright, working for many years at the Pandemonium Theatre Company in Los Angeles and later the Fremont Centre Theatre in South Pasadena.
Bradbury was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he received the National Medal of Arts and was made the 10th SFWA Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. For his outstanding contribution to the genre he received the Sir Arthur Clarke Special Award, and a special citation by the Pulitzer Prize jury ‘for his distinguished, prolific, and deeply influential career as an unmatched author of science fiction and fantasy.’
Ray Bradbury died in Los Angeles, California, on June 5, 2012, at the age of 91.

简介太诱人。角色的声音和叙述者的声音很相似。我还是没懂为什么主角能从中逃脱。如果每个人都生活在同一种思想下，为什么主角能够茅塞顿开而其他人就不能呢...准备看brave new world。

成书于70年前的冷战时代，布雷德伯里受纳粹焚书，麦卡锡主义和老大哥高压等事件启发创作。浓缩压抑思想、极权控制、和科技娱乐对于人的改变等问题，一封写给书的情书，对当下的境况也很有启发，经典反乌托邦小说，情节紧凑，值得阅读。

看完让人非常后悔没有早几年读的书。 Ray Bradbury怎么就没有活到短视频时代呢？很好奇他看了今天的世界会写出什么样的故事来。 Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.

围绕着想好的argument写的命题作文，文笔很好，人物动机都挺苍白。光批判不行，还是要创作才有话语权。
