About this audiobook
Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and first published in 1938 in the United Kingdom. The story takes place at an unspecified future date when mankind has entered another Dark Age. Technological advancement is now carefully planned and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. A young man known as Equality 7-2521 rebels by doing secret scientific research. When his activity is discovered, he flees into the wilderness with the girl he loves. Together they plan to establish a new society based on rediscovered individualism.
Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand (1905–1982) wrote the bestselling novels The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957) and founded the philosophy known as objectivism. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Rand taught herself to read at the age of six and soon resolved to become a professional writer. In 1926, she left Communist Russia to pursue a screenwriting career in Hollywood, and she published her first novel ten years later. With her next book, the dystopian novella Anthem (1938), she introduced the theme that she would devote the rest of her life to pursuing: the inevitable triumph of the individual over the collective.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The plot was an outstanding idea. However, the details weren’t described clearly enough in my humble opinion. Though it was clear that 7-2521 invented electricity, I believe that word should have been used at least once to describe “The Light”. I would have also enjoyed hearing more about their friendship toward the likable equality. Many parts of this book were superb though. Again, my judgement!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5That was absolutely amazing and motivational! And no one should ever forget their individual Freedom!
