Fahrenheit 451 AU:
Rhian is a futuristic "fireman," who unknowingly contributes to the world’s totalitarian censorship. Yet, the public has stopped reading (and believing in knowledge and the written word) of its own accord, and his job is becoming obsolete with the changing times.
Rafal on the other hand is a reader, who convinces Rhian to break the rules and read something, anything, before he burns it all away.
Rhian reads a mere a chapter of a tale, is blown away, and changes forever, his eyes opened to storytelling, and he decides to join forces with Rafal, the outlaw brother he’s never quite understood before, and they go on, preserving the tales and their lessons, each rebel on their side responsible for memorizing one volume.
The Hearth and the Salamander
It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He strode in a swarm of fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house. While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew away on a wind turned dark with burning.
I really like this book, so I thought I’d share it. It just came back to me and now I want to reread it!
Here’s the link to a pdf if anyone wants to read it with me.

Saw a fireman recycle a Monster can today. Sometimes it's just the little things in life that make me happy. ☺️
