Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury (1953). Conceptual cover designs for the sci-fi classic: Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, he starts fires rather than puts them out. He destroys the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. He meets an eccentric young neighbor who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear, and to a present where you can see the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless television.
