Anthem is a tale of a future dark age of the great “we” – a world that deprives individuals of name, independence, and values.

He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all traces of science and civilization he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: He had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He was alone.

This is a short one, I started to read it in June and made it to Part 5 and life got in the way. I finally finished it in one sitting. It's nice to see where Hunger Games, Divergent, and all those other dystopian type of novels get their inspiration from.

Anthem is a book that every proud individualist should read. I guess a lot of altruists or socialists hate it but they are worthless trash and their opinions are worth even less.

Great philosophical work!!

“For the coming of that day shall I fight, I and my sons and my chosen friends. For the freedom of Man. For his rights. For his life. For his honor”

and I call this as a revolution for the evolution of mankind and hence forth it can be claimed as.
