The firemen in this futuristic time are nothing like the firemen in the present day. Instead of putting out fires they start them. They also set books on fire. Montage likes his job. In fact after setting whatever he sets on fire he grins with excitement that even when he sleep never leaves his face. What Beatty reviles about himself is that this does not take place in England, and that the quote he mentions is from a book. Which it ironic for this era, because in this era the firemen burn knowledge. In the first part of this book we learn about the mechanical hound. The mechanical hound is futuristic piece of technology with eight legs. The purpose of the hound is hunt people have books.
They program the makeup of a person’s amino acids, so the hound can track you down. Once it finds its prey it injects a long steel needle into the person and deposits morphine procaine into them. Montage is afraid of the hound because the hound reacts to him every time Montag is around. Montage thinks that someone is messing with him by programming the hound with some of his information. The captain disregards montages statement, and tell him he will have the hound looked at. Montage tells the captain he wouldn’t want to be the hound next victim. After the captain asks montage if he has guilty conscience.
