Burning books, sweet flamethrowers, and complaining about people watching too much TV make Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury one of the all-time dystopian classics.
Guy Montag is a fireman - one whose job is to burn books, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag and his wife, Mildred (who spends all day with her television ‘family’) had never questioned his life as a fireman, until he meets his eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse. Clarisse introduces him to a bigger world and new ideas, and Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
