The story centers around [[AwesomeMcCoolname Guy Montag]], a fireman. However, in this [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture near future]], all houses are insulated from common fires. The firemen serve a different function: namely, they exist to burn books. Thanks to TheGovernment, all books [[note]]with the exception of trade magazines, pornographic magazines, and captionless comic books in the novel version[[/note]] are now considered dangerous, and there can only be one way to [[{{Bowdlerise}} clean them up]]: [[BookBurning flames]]. The public is [[MoreThanMindControl kindly encouraged]] to [[NewMediaAreEvil watch their three-dimensional televisions instead]] or go to the Fun Parks, where people commit petty crimes, like breaking windows, bullying innocent bystanders, and smashing cars. Montag, along with the rest of the crew, finds houses with books hidden in them, then soaks the offending literature and the rest of the house in kerosene from their hoses and burns it from the inside, instead.
