Anthem (version 3)

"Anthem (version 3)" is a novella by Ayn Rand, first published in England in 1938. The story is set in an unspecified future, where society is governed by irrationality, collectivism, and socialism. The characters live in a world where individuality is abolished, and even the use of the word "I" is punishable by death. Technological advancement is highly regulated, and progress is only allowed when authorized. The story is inspired by Rand's own experiences as a teenager living in Soviet Russia. It serves as a warning against the dangers of collectivism and the importance of individuality.
