麻豆约拍

Faber has done what he can to help Montag.

Now he's on his own, with the deadly Mechanical Hound in pursuit: the chase broadcast live into every home.

Ray Bradbury's cult classic was first published in 1953 but it imagines a world very like today, in which sophisticated mass media are used to pacify and control people; love is a commodity; attention spans are short and police hunts are live entertainment.

Poetic, dazzling and shocking: Bradbury's vision of the future has become terrifyingly familiar.

Read by Alex Jennings.

Abridged by Sara Davies.

Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in July 2017.
