Set in a future America, this dystopian novel explores the deterioration of intellectual life and the capacity of individuals to tolerate conflicting opinions and value profound thought. Books are outlawed and people spend their time filling their minds with endless hours of insipid television programs and radio broadcasts. Fireman Guy Montag, whose job is to burn books, questions the emptiness of his existence. With America on the verge of a catastrophic war, Montag joins the renegade Book People on a mission to preserve books and resurrect intellectual life.
