Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 portrays the lives of people in a dystopian and degenerate society, wherein people are restricted from enjoying even the banal pleasures of life. One of the most peculiar aspects of this book is the depiction of the treatment meted out to books itself, which are burned by fireman. In the upside down world of this book, firemen are enlisted to spread fires rather than put them out.
