This book is a classic in the annals of science fiction, but like many of the writings of the period, it still has something valuable to say about human behaviour and its possible consequences.
The story follows a fireman and details what his work has become, and his thoughts on it. In this world where our job descriptions are being forever modified, and public opinion of a vocal minority often becomes a political bandwagon, this introspective book is as valid today as it was then. A fascinating warning about the danger of regulating morality, even with the best of intentions, this book will leave you wishing to sample other of this fantastic writer’s works.
