Paperback
(Independently published Dec. 29, 2017)
Individualism is illegal. Personal initiative is illegal. Being alone is illegal. Not obeying the government is illegal. There is no "I." There is only, "WE." In this dystopian look into what could be a bleak, mundane and soul-killing future for humanity, Equality 7-2521 wonders if the people that came before him and lived in comforts that he had never known had even put up a fight to save their civilization. Maybe you are asking that same question as we live in the decline as it's happening. Do we want for our children a joyless, drab existence without meaning or hope? Where they may be executed for simply saying forbidden words? In the story there no longer exists the word "I." There is only "We." Rand's short story in a look into a world where life is short, your mind is controlled, and your life never belonged to you. But there are those that can sense something is all wrong. That there should be more meaning to existence. While the masses go on without question- there are those that suffer as their souls want to be free of the cage they were born into. A cage of the body and mind. The human soul does not flourish under tight controls. It must be free to grow and do. To love. To express. To LIVE. To live as an individual.
