Summary: Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. When his wife attempts suicide and his neighbour suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has known. He starts hiding books in his home and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.
