Anthem: A Short Science Fiction Novel

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Feb. 16, 2013)
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" is punishable by death). The novel is a tale of a time when the human race has lost all individuality, when people are reduced to numbers and have lost their freedom to make decisions for themselves. The story encapsulates a man's quest for individual Freedom and the journey of how he achieved it. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of this timeless story.
