通常1-5営業日で発送：アメリカで「ＳＦ界の抒情詩人」と讃えられた作家、レイ・ブラッドベリが1953年に発表した小説『華氏451度』。本は有害な情報を市民にもたらすとして、読むことも持つことも禁じられた近未来の社会が舞台となっている。華氏451度とは、紙が自然発火する温度を示している。主人公のガイ・モンターグは〈ファイアマン〉として本を焼き払い、市民の安全を守る仕事に誇りを持っていた。ある日、風変わりな少女と出会い、「本には本当に価値がないのだろうか」という疑問が芽ばえてくる。近づく戦争にも関心を示さず、〈壁〉に設置されたテレビから流れてくる刺激的な映像に楽しみを見出す「考えることをやめた」社会が本当にすぐれているのか。彼は公園で出会った老人と共に反撃の狼煙をあげようと一つの計画を企てるのだが──。
難解な書物が敬遠され、刺激的な映像を流すテレビに思考能力を奪われている大衆社会、という設定はまさに現代社会の暗喩。70年前に書かれたものとは思えない痛烈な諷刺精神に驚かされます。
