Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury, Ray
Filed under: Sci-Fi | Buy on Amazon
An amazing sci-fi novel written 50 years ago that is so applicable today.
The fire department isn't responsible for stopping fires; they start them, by burning books. But it's not a government conspiracy, it's the lack of interest on the part of the common man.
And the title, of course, refers to the temperature at which paper burns.
