Anthem
By Ayn RandAnthem takes place in a futuristic world in which society functions as one collective whole. “I” does not exist, only “we.” The novel explores themes of freedom, human will, and individuality. You are introduced to the narrator, Equality 7-2521, through this writing style of only using collective pronouns. The book, while quite short, teaches you important values about humanity through the eyes of a person “rediscovering” it.
