"Anthem" by Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand wrote Anthem in the summer of 1937, about a future society where the problems of inequality have finally been solved:
"We are one in all and all in one.
There are no men but only the great WE,
One, indivisible and forever."
(Inscription over the portals of the Palace of the World Council, "Anthem", by Ayn Rand)
It is told as a first-person narrative, by a person named Equality 7-2521.
In short, the world of Anthem is our own possible future ... if today's progressives have their way.
"There is no proposal outrageous enough but what its author can get a
respectful hearing and approbation if he claims that in some undefined
way it is for "the common good." (Ayn Rand)
