Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and first
published in 1938 in England. It takes place at some unspecified future date
when mankind has entered another dark age characterized by irrationality,
collectivism, and socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement
is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept
of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the use of the word "I" or
"Ego" is punishable by death).
