Damn.

Not sure how or when Anthem ended up on my To Read list but I'm glad I gave it a chance because I really enjoyed it. The story may lack polish or depth of more recent novels but the concept of this society was haunting. The struggle to find individualism and break free of a group are common today as they were in the 1930's.

There is nothing to take a man's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.
