The full for-radio adapted version of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is available to listen to on the BBC's iplayer.Fahrenheit 451
A society where the people are kept dumb by constant radio/TV shows including 'soaps' and where all books are burned... it is very interesting.
These programmes only last for a set amount of time on the BBC site, so give it a listen as soon as you can.
Makes you wonder why '1984' is the book of reference for 'BigBrother' watchers, when in fact, Fahrenheit 451 was a far superior book to Orwell's?
