Equality 7-2521 is a man apart. Since The Great Rebirth it has been a crime in his world to think or act as an individual. Even love is forbidden. Yet since his childhood in the Home of the Infants, Equality 7-2521 has felt that he is different. When he is sent by The Council of Vocations to work as a road sweeper, he stumbles upon a link to the old world that gives him the spur to break free. First published in England in 1938, Ayn Rand's short dystopian novel crystalizes the ideas of individualism and competition that would make her name world famous.

Review of 'Anthem' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Un futur dystopique intéressant, dans la même veine que Atlas Shrugged, où tout individualisme a été effacé au profit de la seule communauté et où toute différence supérieure est pourchassée pour le bien de tous. Malheureusement le héros sonne creux, découvrant des choses beaucoup plus facilement, de manière innée à un point illogique, assez classique chez Ayn Rand mais un peu décevant. De même la fin en long monologue philosophique est un peu lourde à supporter.
