* Creator/RayBradbury's ''Literature/Fahrenheit451'' is one of the iconic examples of this, set in a world where nearly all literature has been banned and burned. The protagonist is a "fireman", one whose job it is to burn books.
** And in ''Literature/TheMartianChronicles'', "Usher II" alludes to events on Earth where the government sponsored a "Great Burning" of books and made them illegal, which leads to the formation of an underground society of book owners. Those found to possess books had them seized and burned by fire crews. Mars apparently emerged as a refuge from the fascist censorship laws of Earth, until the arrival of a government organization referred to only as "[[MoralGuardians Moral Climates]]" and their enforcement divisions, the "Dismantlers" and "Burning Crew".

* In ''La Saga de los Confines'', by Liliana Bodoc, when the Sideresians invade Beleram, the capital city of [[MayIncaTec the Zitzahays]], they find it completely empty because its inhabitants fled to the jungle. Furious, the Sideresians loot everything they can find and Drimus ''the Doctrinator'', their leader, orders them to create a huge bonfire in the main square where they burn, among other things, all the codices and scrolls of parchment that the Zitzahay use as books, not only to destroy their culture, but because a splinter of that fire is necessary as an ingredient to create a powerful spell.
