About the Book:
Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and first published in 1938 in England. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age characterized by irrationality, collectivism, and socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the use of the word “I” is punishable by death).

    Great book! I read it about 10 years ago and loved it then and loved it now. It would be better if you had bigger chunks so we don’t spend so much time watching the cutting and pasting process. If a chapter is under a couple thousand words it should be combined with other chapters.

    After two weeks of reading books at 500wpm, I tried to read a document at 400 and 450 and it felt too slow! Wow.

    This book is great. I read chapter 1 and was hooked.
