Anthem

Book • 1938

Anthem is a dystopian novella by Ayn Rand, set in a future where individuality has been suppressed, and people refer to themselves as 'we'.

The story follows Equality 7-2521, who rebels against this collectivist society by rediscovering the concept of 'I' and embracing individualism.

The novella serves as a critique of totalitarian regimes and a celebration of individual freedom and autonomy.
