Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451 is set in a future when the written word is forbidden. "Fireman" Guy Montag, enjoys his duties as a professional book-burner. He never questions the totalitarian government, nor the barbaric acts he commits in its name. 

His eyes are finally opened when a young girl tells him of a time when books were legal and people did not live in fear.

Montag begins stealing books marked for destruction and meets a professor who agrees to educate him. When his pilfering is discovered, he must run for his life.
