Montag

My name is Montag.

Except, it isn’t.

Montag is the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, a sci-fi novel that was written by Ray Bradbury in 1953. It is set in a future where old books are burned – it is law, and everyday normality. The story describes Montag’s gradual awakening to the subtle barriers that his society erects in the way of free thought.

Modern society may be starting to resemble the insidious dystopia that Bradbury imagines. I write a blog which is an attempt to explore that idea – and to have a lot of writerly fun along the way.
