Summary
Details

"Do you want to read Anthem? If so then keep reading...

Upon the original submission of ""Anthem"" to Macmillan publishing, the book was rejected on grounds that ""the author does not understand socialism."" For the harshest of Ayn Rand's critics, this might as well be an analysis of all her work. However, for those who revere Rand's work and subscribe to her particular philosophy of objectivism this novel could be set in the present day instead of some unidentified future in which mankind has entered a dark age characterized by irrationality, collectivism, and socialistic thinking. In this dystopian novella, we find a world where technological advancement is now carefully planned and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. The central characters of the story are Equality 7-2521, a free-thinking inventor, and his love interest, Liberty 5-3000. Like most dystopian works, ""Anthem"" describes a strange and unfathomable world that could never exist.
