Step into a world where books are forbidden, and free thought is extinguished by the flicker of flames. Fahrenheit 451 follows the life of Guy Montag, a fireman whose job is not to put out fires but to start them, burning any books he finds to maintain an oppressive society’s control over knowledge and truth. At first, Montag is content with his life and his work. But when he meets a young woman named Clarisse, his perspective begins to unravel, revealing a society where people live disconnected from each other, sedated by endless entertainment and void of critical thought.
This audiobook takes you on Montag’s transformative journey as he seeks answers in a world that punishes curiosity. Guided by his encounters with Clarisse, a former professor named Faber, and a group of rebels known as the “book people,” Montag begins to see that the very happiness society claims to offer is a hollow facade. What unfolds is a story of resistance, self-discovery, and the enduring power of knowledge.
