description: The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were burning...along with the houses in which they were hidden. Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for 10 years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames...never questioned anything until he met a 17-year- old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid. Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think...and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do! "Frightening in its implications...Bradbury's account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is fascinating!" (The New York Times)
