Description

Anthem is an outstanding introduction to Ayn Rand's philosophy of human nature. The novella's theme and central conflict — the individual versus the collective — occurs in all her novels and is an important element of her moral and political philosophy.
The story of Anthem takes place in an unnamed Communist- or Fascist-like dictatorship of the future, where an individual has no rights, existing solely to serve the state. The hero, Equality 7-2521, is a brilliant young man who yearns to be a scientist, but who is commanded to be a Street Sweeper by a government that fears his independence of mind.
