Anthem

In a dystopian future devoid of love and knowledge, a man dares to defy societal norms by seeking love and embracing individuality. His quest for knowledge and distinctiveness marks him as a target in a world that suppresses personal identity and autonomy. Ayn Rand's narrative explores themes of conformity versus individuality, foreshadowing her later works, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, as it delves into the consequences of standing out in a society that demands uniformity.
