Guy Montag is a fireman. His jol is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
I enjoyed this book. It was great to see someone standing up for books. I like that this dystopian isn’t far from reality, 70years since release and it does ring true in some aspects of today. People are governed by their screens and pay less attention if any to the wonders that lie between the pages of a good book. This book definitely asks questions and makes you think.
