I honestly haven't read it, but I've seen a film adaptation of Farenheit 451, and I've met Ray Bradbury, watched him speak. He's an amazing man, and he really changed the sci-fi genre. I promise it's not that bad, though it might be a bit of a hard read. it's a dystopian future where firemen are reduced to book burners. The "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity". It was written in the beginning of the Cold War, and it's a critique of what Bradbury saw as issues in American society of the era.
-stole a bit from wiki- It's still awesome. I got shivers when he told us stories that day. he's turning ninety soon. and he's still got it. Seriously.
It definitely looks very interesting/well-written. I'm not too worried about Fahrenheit 451, it's just Feed that looks absolutely horrible.
Wiki says it's not about censorship, but instead television. I think I would have preferred it to be about censorship. xD; partially 'cause I love TV orz

Also, SPOILERS: Fahrenheit 451 SUCKS BALLS. Though I hate everything by Ray Bradbury, so I may be bias.
