Anthem is a story of human extremes. It is as well-written as all of her writings. In this story, society has worked to solve the problem of our destructive natures by eliminating all reference to self, and working only for the collective.

Anthem is a short read. This version has the original text in the back, complete with strikeouts and re-writes.
