A great, horrifying what-if story.
Also a good companion to Brave New World.

This is one of my favorite books of all time. No matter how many times I read it, I still interact with it and still enjoy it immensely. I'm excited to teach it this fall.
If you haven't read it, then read it! That's about all I want to say right now, because I don't want to get into it and pick it apart. It's so eerie that the things Bradbury put in it over 50 years ago are so much like things are now. I got goosebumps. ...more

I can't believe I waited as long as I did to read this book. It's less science fiction than philosophy and it's wrapped in captivating narrative to match the originality and creativity of the story. The social criticisms presented by Bradbury are ripe and timely. Perhaps I wouldn't have gotten as much out of it if I did finish reading this in high school.
