The novel follows the personal evolution and journey of Guy Montag, from a fireman for whom it is a pleasure to burn books, to a man disillusioned with the censoring of knowledge and dedicated to the preservation of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 1956 interview, Bradbury said, “I wrote this book at a time when I was worried about the way things were going in this country four years ago. Too many people were afraid of their shadows; there was a threat of book burning. Many of the books were being taken off the shelves at that time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradbury has also described the book as a commentary on resistance to conformity, and how mass media can create a lack of interest in reading literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough considered one of the greatest science-fiction novels of all time, much of Fahrenheit 451 has become science-fact. The novel predicted earbud headphones, flatscreen televisions, and 24-hour banking machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1954, Fahrenheit 451 won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature and the Commonwealth Club of California Gold Medal. It later won the Prometheus “Hall of Fame” Award in 1984, and a “Retro” Hugo Award in 2004, one of only seven Best Novel “Retro” Hugo Awards ever given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARTIST GIFT EDITION\u003cbr\u003e6” x 9” trim size.\u003cbr\u003eLimited to 1000 copies.\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Neil Gaiman.\u003cbr\u003eFull cloth, smyth-sewn binding.\u003cbr\u003eTwo hits foil stamping.\u003cbr\u003ePaper endsheets.\u003cbr\u003eSix full color illustrations by Julia Griffin.\u003cbr\u003eDust jacket with stunning wrap-around artwork by Michael Whelan (the only edition featuring the dust jacket.)\u003cbr\u003eSigned by Julia Griffin and Michael Whelan.\u003cbr\u003e77-page bonus section on the history, context and criticism of the novel edited by Jonathan R.
