I chose Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 under the prompt “A book that is set in future”, which is essentially a book about our beloved books.
Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I will try talking you into reading it, while also not spoil at the same time.
This is set in a distant future where a book-loving person burns books as his profession. The book discusses the joy of reading books and the protagonist’s tryst with the dilemma he faces in the weird societal sanctions.
The book also urges the reader to ponder about the future where the world is way too mechanised and simplified, implying that even thinking is considered to be a waste of energy. It also explores the concept of living life and is very relatable with all the book readers out there.
It was short and funny(at places) but a very stirring read. I am glad I picked this book for the challenge as it has reasonably built a future, likely, given our times
