Fahrenheit 451 (wikipedia.org)

It's one of those books I think are more relevant than when it was written.

The basic concepts and quotes don't do it justice. Read it fully. The "parlor walls" as social media give the book chilling metaphors for our current era.

Montag's "Sieve and the Sand" subway ride and dialog with Faber are some of the most powerful and relevant to today.
