FAHRENHEIT 451: FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
In a terrifyingly care-free future, a young man named Guy Montag finds himself at the center of a dystopian world where the act of reading is deemed illegal and knowledge is suppressed. Montag's role as a fireman is not to extinguish fires, but rather to ignite them in a chilling effort to eradicate literature and the ideas contained within books.
Initially, Montag conforms to societal norms, believing that his work is essential for maintaining a uniform and uninhibited society. Firemen, like Montag, are celebrated figures who uphold the law by destroying what is seen as the source of conflict and dissent: books. However, his life takes a dramatic turn upon meeting Clarisse McClellan, a free-spirited and inquisitive young woman. Clarisse's enthusiasm for life and her profound questions about the world around them spark a curiosity in Montag that he has long suppressed.
As Montag begins to engage in secretive acts of rebellion, he gradually discovers the profound importance of literature and independent thought. He starts to read books, which opens the floodgates to a world of ideas and philosophies that challenge the status quo. This conflict within him grows as he grapples with the reality of his actions and the values of his society.
The backdrop of this narrative is a society that prioritizes entertainment and instant gratification over intellectual engagement. Television dominates the lives of citizens, providing superficial interactions that satisfy but do not nourish the mind. Firemen, like Montag, are seen as heroes for their role in this twisted vision of utopia, yet the cost of such "freedom" is a profound emptiness that permeates the lives of its inhabitants.
As Montag's awakening accelerates, he faces not only societal repercussions but also personal turmoil. He must confront the moral implications of his profession and the destructive nature of censorship. His journey leads him to question the very purpose of life and what it means to be truly human in a world that shuns critical thinking and individualism.
In his quest for understanding, Montag finds himself pursued by Captain Beatty, the chief of firemen, who represents the oppressive forces of societal conformity. Beatty is articulate and cunning, often using literature to justify the burning of books, making him a formidable opponent in Montag's rebellion. The clash between Montag and Beatty embodies the larger conflict between enlightenment and ignorance, freedom and oppression.
Ultimately, Montag’s transformation serves as a powerful commentary on the dangers of censorship and the vital role that literature plays in fostering empathy, creativity, and critical thought. The narrative urges readers to reflect on the relevance of knowledge and the consequences of allowing ignorance to dominate.
The story of Guy Montag is a cautionary tale that resonates in today’s world, emphasizing the importance of questioning authority, seeking knowledge, and the eternal struggle for intellectual freedom.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
