What is Celsius 233?
Celsius 233 is your go-to place for fiction book summaries. We know you love books, but let’s be real — life gets busy. Whether you’re keeping up with the latest trends, diving into pop culture, or just trying to catch up on your reading list, those unread books keep piling up. We’re here to help you stay connected with the stories you love, even when time is tight.
Why the name Celsius 233?
We’re inspired by Fahrenheit 451, a novel that shows how society, not the government, pushed for the destruction of books. As movies, TV shows, blogs, and articles began summarizing and simplifying books, ideas spread rapidly, offending different groups. To maintain peace, people demanded that books be banned and burned, with firemen, or “Happiness Boys,” ensuring societal harmony. Books had once been abundant, but as their relevance faded and they were eventually banned, the messages within them remained locked away, ignored by a society that moved on.
At Celsius 233, we recognize that time and attention are limited. We summarize fiction to make stories more accessible, not to diminish their value. Our goal is to capture the heart of each book, so you can engage with stories even when you don’t have time to read them all. Our name reflects this mission: keeping the essence of fiction alive and within reach, one summary at a time.
Is Celsius 233 meant to replace reading full books?
Not at all! We’re not here to replace the joy of reading a full novel. In fact, we know no summary can replicate the feeling of getting lost in a book. But let’s face it — most of us don’t finish half the books we start. Whether you’re busy with your schedule or just don’t have the time, we help you stay in the loop.
Looking ahead, we plan to support authors by encouraging readers to explore their complete works. In the future, we aim to include affiliate links to online bookstores, making it easy for you to purchase the full books, benefiting both authors and Celsius 233. Additionally, we’ll introduce lesser-known works alongside well-loved classics, helping new audiences discover diverse authors. Our mission isn’t just to summarize but to spark curiosity and inspire deeper engagement with the books we feature.
How did Celsius 233 start?
It all started with Saurabh, a self-proclaimed bookworm who proudly lists “reading novels” on his resume. After spending a decade in roles spanning ops, strategy, product management, and sales — often working closely with CXOs — he realized how difficult it can be to stay connected with fiction when everyone seems focused on non-fiction, entrepreneurship, and self-help. Despite the trends pushing people toward business books, his love for fiction never waned. This led to the creation of Celsius 233, a way for busy people like himself to stay connected to the world of novels, even when life gets in the way.
The first book summarized on the platform? Fahrenheit 451, written by Saurabh himself — a tribute to the story that inspired this journey.
