The Shining By Stephen King

In Ray Bradbury’s classic dystopian novel, books are forbidden and firemen are employed to burn them. Guy Montag is one of those firemen, carrying out his work without questioning the society around him.

After meeting a young woman who makes him question the world he lives in, Montag begins to see the emptiness and repression surrounding him. His growing curiosity about books puts him into conflict with the authorities and forces him to choose between obedience and intellectual freedom.
