Wikipedia describes 'Fahrenheit 451', 1953 by Ray Bradbury as a dystopian novel that " presents a future American society where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found."
451 Fahrenheit is the temperature at which paper self-ignites and hence the title of the book.

Today if we have to burn all the books, you have to also burn e-books and e-readers. "Firemen" need higher temperature than 451 F to burn them. That temperature supposedly is 1600 F !
