Fahrenheit 451 is a SF novel by Ray Bradbury which deals with the future in which books are forbidden and all you have is the daytime TV. In that imagined future, book possession is a crime and there is a police-like unit called "firefighters" which raids private homes and burns books. Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature on which the paper ignites. My reference to Fahrenheit 451 was prompted by your idea of throwing the Guy Harrison's book away. You should also try with "Martian Chronicles" and Heinlein's "Stranger In a Strange Land". When you finish all 3 of those, you'l grokk the world a bit differently.
