Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
This was an excellent book—I especially loved the way Ray Bradbury ended it with the Afterward and Coda. Both of these bits have a confrontational anti-censorship edge that makes me smile, and continues to be relevant today (especially in regards to the internet).
Amusingly, Seventh-Day Adventists get a special mention among the diverse list of groups who might be offended by what others produce and want to censor it (and is probably accurate for many old-school SDAs).
I always love how these older scifi books get some predictions so uncannily correct.
