Where does the name a451 come from?
The name a451 is due in part to the prophetic classic novel by Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451. Set at some time in the future Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness.
The classic novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to creat a novel which, fifty years on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock. Thanks for that Amazon!
