Title: A first time Rand reader
Review: After seeing that this book has been required reading for many high schoolers, I decided to give it a try. I missed out on this book as a teenager. You cannot compare Rand against Orwell, as many other reviewers have tried to do. 1984 is in a different league than Anthem even though the themes are similar. If the idea of the individual is removed from society then mankind is sure to crumble. The hard truth of humanity is that some will prosper while others do not. And if our government does not get that idea out of their heads, we may very well look forward to a WE society like in Anthem.
