Author Description

"In this early 20th century novella, Ayn Rand creates a dystopian society that emphasizes government control over all elements of a civilization - and complete conformity of the people within it. Mankind is in a dark age, both literally and figuratively: There is no light, technological advancement is rarely allowed, and impotent collectivism is not only preferred, but required, over individuality. Anthem is a raw and haunting study of how society might look should we trade every "I" for "We.""--Provided by publisher.
