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.

Abridged by Sara Davies.

Concluded by Alex Jennings.

Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in July 2017.
