Fahrenheit 451 is set in an unspecified city, probably along the American West Coast, in an unspecified date, a dystopian future, as perceived in the late 1940s/early 1950s.
Written by Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 is read from the perspective of Guy Montag, a “fireman” in a futuristic society where he and his coworkers start fires rather than put them out. Books are banned and burned upon discovery, and Montag has no qualms about his responsibility.
The book is divided into three sections: The Hearth and the Salamander, The Sieve and the Sand and Burning Bright.
