Anthem (Version 6)

LibriVox recording of Anthem (Version 6) by Ayn Rand. Read in English by Scotty Smith; Merry P A novelette set in the distant future, perhaps thousands of years. Technology has been lost and advancement suppressed. The people have either given up or been stripped of will, freedom, and individuality. The family unit no longer exists as the entire life cycle from conception to death is institutionalized; severely conditioning children to value only service to their brother man and never stand out or above. However, the true human spirit proves difficult to suppress for ever and always as one bright, curious young man, after making an amazing discovery, trail blazes a new way of life ... or is it an old way of life? - Summary by Scotty Smith For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
