Fahrenheit 451
Author: Ray Bradbury
Copyright date: 1950
This is another great book that everyone should read! It's not just a book about the craziness of the future
government that burns books. There is actually a ton of underlying philosophy that makes this book awesome.
The one thing about this book that amazed me most was that the government didn't impose the new laws on the citizens.
The citizens themselves chose to stop reading. They chose to get rid of the books, and the government started burning
the books because that's what people wanted.
This is another book (like 1984) that is a scary vision of our future. It's even more frightening because you can
see the beginnings of this future around us now.
