In 1953, Ray Bradbury created a dystopic vision of a future whose time would be about now. There, a pervasive media provides constant stimulation and creates the need for constant gratification. It provides ample distraction for the government to conduct unquestioned wars, to manipulate thought, and to turn its oppressive intrusiveness into patriotic entertainment. People are so dependent on seeing what comes next that they can’t remember a past and can’t imagine a future. Thinking is simply unpleasant.Books contain history, ideas, and independent thought. They are provocative and therefore subversive. The Fire Department enforces the law by burning books and the homes that contain them.Returning home from work, fireman Guy Montag encounters a young woman, new to the neighborhood, remarkably self-possessed, and different from anyone else he knows—she cares little for the television walls and the tiny sea shells worn in the ears to provide musical entertainment in personal stereo. Montag is both fascinated and unsettled by their conversations. His growing awareness of his internal conflict and his disenchantment with his role eventually force Montag to confront himself and his society. In a fast-paced and dramatic plot, his journey leads him to glimpse the cracks in the larger society and his survival will ultimately depend on what he chooses to value most. In 2007, Bradbury’s vision holds up as surprisingly prescient. The technologies have a few details that go astray, but their scope and social implications are on the mark, enduring, and relevant.This 50th anniversary edition contains extra material that provides additional background and commentary, including an afterword, copyright 1982; a coda, copyright 1979; and a 2003 interview with the author. Highly recommended.
