The Community of Rundown Authors and Publishers announced a project to rewrite Fahrenheit 451<\/em> for the modern American audience.<\/p>\n

Publisher Ballantine Books, famous for its original run of Fahrenheit 451<\/em>, has already signed on to publish this new classic.<\/p>\n

Fahrenheit 452<\/em>, scheduled for publication in early 2015, tells the story of Guy Hashtag, a 21st century employee living in a world where iPhones are required to be damaged. Throughout the novel, Hashtag shatters and bends iPhones, stopping occasionally to drop a call by holding the phone incorrectly.<\/p>\n

When asked why 452, the Community responded: \u201c452 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which the Apple A8X processor is no longer able to run apps such as Tinder and Yik Yak, and we believe this will help to connect with our audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Guy Hashtag knows what he has to do…<\/p>\n
