DYSTOPIA #1
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

AbeBooks regularly send me some excellent reading lists, and this is me getting stuck in about the first of them.  A nice short read to get me started.

Really enjoyed it, although first published in 1976 Fahrenheit 451, about a dystopia in which books are burned because of their status as contraband and in which television and mass media have taken over people's lives and their ability to think independently.  Still so relevant today
