Fahrenheit 451

In a future American society where books are banned and 'firemen' burn any that are found, Guy Montag is a dedicated member of the fire brigade. His life changes when he encounters a woman who challenges his worldview, leading him to question the purpose of his work and the sterile, media-saturated culture surrounding him. As Montag begins to secretly read and hide literature, he becomes a target of the state, forcing him to flee and join a group of exiles who preserve knowledge by memorizing it.
