Set in a world where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, this powerful narrative explores themes of censorship, technology's impact on human connection, and the preservation of intellectual freedom. The novel's title refers to the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns, serving as a powerful metaphor for knowledge's fragility. This thought-provoking masterpiece continues to resonate with modern readers, drawing parallels to contemporary issues of digital censorship, social media addiction, and the battle between traditional and digital media.
