Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Everyone is guided by their own vision of society. These visions direct their actions and control their intentions in every decision they make. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the main character Guy Montag is a fireman whose primary job is to burn books. When he learns that he brainwashed his society, he rebels against the community following his own vision for them. Along the way, he’s assisted by a rebel, Faber, who assists and cooperates with Montag to achieve his goal for society.
