"Fahrenheit 451," first penned by Ray Bradbury in 1953, is another fatalistic look at a futuristic dystopia where "firemen" no longer put out fires--they start them. Written ingeniously and built upon the beautiful characterization of Guy Montag, this tiny novel has the power to invoke a call to arms in even the most stalwart of book haters. In the age of the Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble's Nook, "Fahrenheit 451" is a apocalyptic warning to the dangers of losing physical books--and the dangers of walking down such a treacherous path.
