I think this is the best dystopian novel I have ever read! Ray Bradbury has created a masterpiece here which is bound to make you think long and hard about the world and where it's headed.
The story begins with the protagonist Guy Montag, who is a fireman. And in this dystopian world, the firemen burn down books and the houses hide them.
The metaphorical message this book tries to convey is thought provoking and profound. It instills the importance of critical thinking and highlights how humanity is doomed if we stop reading books and learning from them. And how our role is to educate people who have abandoned books, and eventually abandoned thinking altogether.
And given the times we live in now, with social media being in cahoots with governments and billionaires, which in turn influences our minds and almost everything about the way we think, reading this book felt like a bleak and haunting experience. It also highlights how important it is to educate people and the role of an individual in a society that's deteriorating without being aware of it.
A must read book. I would recommend this to every reader out there! 5/5 for this work of literary brilliance!
