| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Anthem Ayn Rand, 2021-07-07 About this Edition This Digital Student Edition of Ayn Rand's Anthem was created for teachers and students receiving free novels from the Ayn Rand Institute, and includes a historic Q&A with Ayn Rand that cannot be found in any other edition of Anthem. In this Q&A from 1979, Rand responds to questions about Anthem sent to her by a high school classroom. About Anthem Anthem is Ayn Rand’s “hymn to man’s ego.” It is the story of one man’s rebellion against a totalitarian, collectivist society. Equality 7-2521 is a young man who yearns to understand “the Science of Things.” But he lives in a bleak, dystopian future where independent thought is a crime and where science and technology have regressed to primitive levels. All expressions of individualism have been suppressed in the world of Anthem; personal possessions are nonexistent, individual preferences are condemned as sinful and romantic love is forbidden. Obedience to the collective is so deeply ingrained that the very word “I” has been erased from the language. In pursuit of his quest for knowledge, Equality 7-2521 struggles to answer the questions that burn within him — questions that ultimately lead him to uncover the mystery behind his society’s downfall and to find the key to a future of freedom and progress. Anthem anticipates the theme of Rand’s first best seller, The Fountainhead, which she stated as “individualism versus collectivism, not in politics, but in man’s soul.” |
| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Anthem Ayn Rand, 2018-12-01 Anthem, which was written during a break from the writing of the author’s next major novel, The Fountainhead, presents a vision of a dystopian future world in which totalitarian collectivism has triumphed to such an extent that even the word ‘I’ has been forgotten and replaced with ‘we’. 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. This is the revised version published in 1946, which went on to sell more than 3.5 million copies. |
| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Anthem Ayn Rand, Anthem by Ayn Rand is a powerful dystopian novella that serves as a profound philosophical exploration of individualism, human freedom, and the destructive nature of collectivist societies. Published in 1938, this seminal work stands as a critical piece of philosophical fiction that challenges totalitarian ideologies and celebrates the supremacy of individual human spirit. Set in a dark, post-apocalyptic future where collective society has completely suppressed individual identity, the narrative follows Equality 7-2521, a young man who dares to challenge the oppressive social structure. In a world where the word I has been eliminated and personal pronouns are forbidden, individuals are reduced to mere cogs in a massive, uniform societal machine, stripped of personal desires, ambitions, and fundamental human rights. Rand's protagonist, Equality 7-2521, works as a street sweeper but harbors a forbidden passion for scientific discovery. Despite strict societal rules prohibiting individual thought or independent research, he secretly conducts experiments and maintains a hidden laboratory. His intellectual curiosity and innate desire for knowledge represent a profound act of rebellion against the oppressive collective system that demands absolute conformity. The narrative becomes a powerful metaphor for human resistance against totalitarian control. When Equality 7-2521 discovers an ancient light bulb and attempts to share his technological breakthrough with the Council of Scholars, he is met with rejection and punishment. This pivotal moment represents the systematic suppression of individual innovation and intellectual progress by collective bureaucracies. His relationship with Liberty 5-3000, another individual who challenges societal norms, becomes a symbolic journey of personal liberation. Together, they escape the oppressive city, discovering an abandoned mountain house from the Unmentionable Times - our current technological era. Here, they begin to rediscover the concept of individuality, personal property, and human potential. The novella's philosophical core lies in its exploration of Rand's Objectivist principles: the celebration of rational self-interest, individual rights, and personal achievement. Through Equality 7-2521's journey, Rand argues that human progress, creativity, and advancement are solely products of individual effort, not collective decision-making. The book's most profound moment comes when the protagonist rediscovers the word I - a grammatical and philosophical revelation that symbolizes personal awakening. This linguistic reclamation becomes a powerful metaphor for individual identity, personal agency, and the fundamental human right to self-determination. Anthem serves multiple literary and philosophical functions: a critique of totalitarian ideologies, a celebration of human potential, and a warning against the dangers of suppressing individual creativity. Its influence extends beyond literature into political philosophy, social theory, and discussions about human rights and personal freedom. Written in a unique, almost poetic prose style, the novella uses its dystopian setting to create a universal message about human dignity, intellectual freedom, and the inherent value of individual thought. Its compact format makes it an accessible entry point into Rand's complex philosophical ideas. For readers interested in dystopian literature, philosophical fiction, political theory, or explorations of human potential, Anthem offers a compact yet profoundly impactful reading experience. It continues to inspire discussions about individualism, societal structures, and the eternal human struggle for personal freedom. Rand's novella remains a critical text in understanding 20th-century political thought, serving as a powerful artistic statement against collectivist ideologies and a passionate defense of individual human spirit. |

| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Mean Girl Lisa Duggan, 2019-05-14 Astute.—New York Times Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the twenty-first century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the twentieth century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes. Outlining the impact of Rand’s philosophy of selfishness, Mean Girl illuminates the Randian shape of our neoliberal, contemporary culture of greed and the dilemmas we face in our political present. |
| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Anthem Ayn Rand, 2018-08-14 My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose. Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and a clear predecessor to her later masterpieces. The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. In Anthem, Rand examines a frightening future in which individuals have no name, no independence, and no values. Equality 7-2521 lives in the dark ages of the future where all decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, and all traces of individualism have been wiped out. Despite such a restrictive environment, the spark of individual thought and freedom still burns in him--a passion which he has been taught to call sinful. In a purely egalitarian world, Equality 7-2521 dares to stand apart from the herd--to think and choose for himself, to discover electricity, and to love the woman of his choice. Now he has been marked for death for committing the ultimate sin. In a world where the great we reign supreme, he has rediscovered the lost and holy word--I. |

For there is no separation between Ayn Rand the vibrant, creative woman and Ayn Rand the intellectual dynamo, the rational thinker, who was also a passionately committed champion of individual freedom. These remarkable letters begin in 1926, with a note from the twenty-year-old Ayn Rand, newly arrived in Chicago from Soviet Russia, an impoverished unknown determined to realize the promise of the land of opportunity. They move through her struggles and successes as a screenwriter, a playwright, and a novelist, her sensational triumph as the author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and her eminence as founder and shaper of Objectivism, one of the most challenging philosophies of our time. They are written to such famed contemporaries as Cecil B. DeMille, Frank Lloyd Wright, H.L. Mencken, Alexander Kerensky, Barry Goldwater and Mickey Spillane There are letters to philosophers, priests, publishers, and political columnists; to her beloved husband, Frank O' Connor; and to her intimate circle of friends and her growing legion of followers. Her letters range in tone from warm affection to icy fury, and in content from telling commentaries on the events of the day to unforgettably eloquent statements of her philosophical ideas. They are presented chronologically, with explanatory notes by Michael S. Berliner, who identifies the recipients of the letters and provides relevant background and context. Here is a chronicle that captures the inspiring drama of a towering literary genius and seminal thinker, and--often day-by-day--her amazing life. |

| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Old School Tobias Wolff, 2004-08-31 The protagonist of Tobias Wolff’s shrewdly—and at times devastatingly—observed first novel is a boy at an elite prep school in 1960. He is an outsider who has learned to mimic the negligent manner of his more privileged classmates. Like many of them, he wants more than anything on earth to become a writer. But to do that he must first learn to tell the truth about himself. The agency of revelation is the school literary contest, whose winner will be awarded an audience with the most legendary writer of his time. As the fever of competition infects the boy and his classmates, fraying alliances, exposing weaknesses, Old School explores the ensuing deceptions and betrayals with an unblinking eye and a bottomless store of empathy. The result is further evidence that Wolff is an authentic American master. |
| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Supercrash Darryl Cunningham, 2014-10-01 Darryl Cunningham’s latest investigation takes us to the heart of free-world politics and the financial crisis, as he traces the roots of bankrupt countries to the domination of right-wing policies and the people who created them.Cunningham draws a fascinating portrait of the New Right and the charismatic Ayn Rand, whose soirees were attended by the young Alan Greenspan. He shows how the Neo-Cons hijacked the economic debate and led the way to a world dominated by the market. Smaller countries, such as Greece, have paid the price for joining a club that held impossible membership rules.He examines the neurological basis of political thinking, and asks why it is so difficult for us to change our minds – even when faced with powerful evidence that a certain course of action is not working. Cunningham’s spare yet eloquent prose, perfectly complemented by the beauty and clarity of his artwork, delivers a devastating analysis of our economic world. |

| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: We Yevgeny Zamyatin, 2022-02-04 An inspiration for George Orwell’s 1984 and a precursor to the work of Philip K. Dick, Ayn Rand (Anthem), and Stanislaw Lem, We is a classic of dystopian science fiction ripe for rediscovery. Written in 1921 by the Russian revolutionary Yevgeny Zamyatin, this story of the thirtieth century is set in the One State, a society where all live for the collective good and individual freedom does not exist. Although fiction, it is a story informed by the war communism of the Soviet Union, and was of course completely banned in Russia. But the collectivism is of a recognizable type, one that threatens every society in all times. To come to understand its features and markings is the benefit of the dystopian genre. The reality that dawns on the reader is that this seeming fiction is all-too real in our times. The novel takes the form of the diary of state mathematician D-503, who, to his shock, experiences the most disruptive emotion imaginable: love for another human being. At once satirical and sobering, We speaks to all who have suffered under repression of their personal, economic, and cultural freedom. “One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.” –Irving Howe. |

| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Healer F. Paul Wilson, 2005-11-01 Healer (Book 3 of the LaNague Series) is the stunning conclusion of the LaNague Federation Trilogy. The Outworld Imperium began as a rebellion by colonials seeking independence. Two centuries later it is a bloated bureaucratic business - a business that produces nothing. Its income is not derived from a free exchange for goods or services, but from taxation. Its a business that never shows a profit, is always in the red, and continually borrows to make up staggering deficits Peter LaNague's unique revolution sets out to topple the entrenched Outworld Imperium as well as fundamentally altering every Outworlder's concept of government. To accomplish this he must ally himself with a madman, trust the word of the last of Sol System's robber barons, make incisive use of the consummate warriors from the planet Flint (without allowing them to run amok), confound at every turn the omnipresent forces of the Imperium, and, every now and then, make it rain money. Those are the easy parts. LaNague's greatest challenge is to see his plan through to successful completion without becoming the very enemy he has vowed to destroy. Short stories Lipidleggin' and Ratman are reprinted in this edition as well as an introduction by the author. F. Paul Wilson is the bestselling author of more than thirty novels and 100 short stories. Over seven million copies of his books are in print in the US; his work has been translated into twenty-four foreign languages.

| short summary of anthem by ayn rand: Lust Simon Blackburn, 2004-02-12 Lust, says Simon Blackburn, is furtive, headlong, always sizing up opportunities. It is a trail of clothing in the hallway, the trashy cousin of love. But be that as it may, the aim of this delightful book is to rescue lust from the denunciations of old men of the deserts, to deliver it from the pallid and envious confessor and the stocks and pillories of the Puritans, to drag it from the category of sin to that of virtue. Blackburn, author of such popular philosophy books as Think and Being Good, here offers a sharp-edged probe into the heart of lust, blending together insight from some of the world's greatest thinkers on sex, human nature, and our common cultural foibles. Blackburn takes a wide ranging, historical approach, discussing lust as viewed by Aristophanes and Plato, lust in the light of the Stoic mistrust of emotion, and the Christian fear of the flesh that catapulted lust to the level of deadly sin. He describes how philosophical pessimists like Schopenhauer and Sartre contributed to our thinking about lust and explores the false starts in understanding lust represented by Freud, Kinsey, and modern evolutionary psychology. But most important, Blackburn reminds us that lust is also life-affirming, invigorating, fun. He points to the work of David Hume (Blackburn's favorite philosopher) who saw lust not only as a sensual delight but also a joy of the mind. Written by one of the most eminent living philosophers, attractively illustrated and colorfully packaged, Lust is a book that anyone would lust over. |
