Fahrenheit 451 review by Ray Bradbury

Montag fa il pompiere in un mondo in cui ai pompieri non è richiesto di spegnere gli incendi, ma di accenderli: armati di lanciafiamme, fanno irruzione nelle case dei sovversivi che conservano libri e li bruciano. Così vuole fa legge. Montag però non è felice della sua esistenza alienata, fra giganteschi schermi televisivi, una moglie che gli è indifferente e un lavoro di routine. Finché, dall'incontro con una ragazza sconosciuta, inizia per lui la scoperta di un sentimento e di una vita diversa, un mondo di luce non ancora offuscato dalle tenebre della imperante società tecnologica.
