Fahrenheit 451 was written by Ray Bradbury. He wrote many books, but this is on of his more famous books. The title comes from that fact (as noted in the book) that books begin to burn at 451 degrees F. Fahrenheit 451 is on the same level as 1984 when it comes to importance.

Nice. Autoignition is a cool chemical concept that some people are not aware of
I've read 1984 and I love it but I didn't know Farenheit 451 so it's now on my reading list. According to my reading plan, I should get to it sometime in the next couple of months!

No autoignition-- it's not that cool. A team of "firemen" show up to some offending site to burn the offending content.

Oh I was talking about the name
That's the autoignition temperature of paper
But the story itself looks interesting as well. My kind of thing

Huxley - Brave New World. Recommended if you liked Orwell's 1984

I haven't read Brave New World yet, but it is a classic on par with 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. From what I understand about Brave New World it looks as if we've been living in that type of world for a while and are transitioning into a 1984-type world. The party's over.
