What is the plot line to "Anthem" by Ayn Rand?
A plot can be derived from this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_(novella) http://www.shmoop.com/anthem-ayn-rand ~ study guide, themes, quotes, teacher resources Anthem is Ayn Rand's classic tale of a dark future age of the great "We"-a world that deprives individuals of name, independence, and values. Written a full decade before George Orwell's "1984," this dystopian novel depicts a man who seeks escape from a society in which individuality has been utterly destroyed. Rand expertly shows how collectivism (including social programs in the United States) destroys freedom and individuality. Her philosophy is simple: "planning" is a synonym for "collectivism," and "collectivism" is a metaphor for communism and tyranny. This important book should be read by all who are concerned about the role of government in modern life.
