    • Bücher

In the 6th podcast, the Baker sisters tackle the Hugo award winner Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. A science-fiction futuristic dystopia that was published in 1953 and won a retro Hugo in 2004.  This is a timeless classic which many of a certain generation had to read in high school, including the younger of the two sisters. It held up well, is still a striking ‘any-day-now’ read.
