Ray Douglas Bradbury is a Pulitzer Prize winner and a classic of science fiction. His work "Fahrenheit 451" was a response to the politics of McCarthyism, which included the burning of pro-communist literature. It is a cautionary novel. Influential and stupefying media could one day convince everyone that firemen have always started fires, not extinguished them.
Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites and burns. The protagonist has been burning books for 10 years. Sometimes along with their owners. His wife spends all her time in the living room, where the walls are replaced by huge television screens. She wears "seashells" in her ears, through which someone is constantly talking. Are they happy? The question from an eccentric neighbor who loves flowers and nighttime walks puzzles the fireman. Something clicks inside him. The fireman snatches a book from the fire. And then... a mechanical hound, a chase broadcast live, and the book people.
