Summary

Ayn Rand (born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum; February 2, 1905 – March 6, 1982) was a Russian-American writer and philosopher known for her contributions to literature with themes advocating individualism and capitalism. Rand's works remain popular for their strong narrative style and provocative ideas, while her philosophy remains a subject of both admiration and critique in philosophical and political discourse.  
Anthem is a dystopian novella set in a future where individuality has been eradicated, and collectivism rules supreme. It serves as a critique of collectivism, warning against the dehumanization that can occur when individual rights are sacrificed for the supposed good of the collective. It's a concise exploration of Rand's Objectivism, focusing on the virtues and importance of the individual's mind and freedom. 
Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.
