Set in a dystopian future, Ayn Rand's Anthem depicts a collectivist society where individuality has been eradicated. People have no names, only numbers, and the word "I" has been forbidden. Equality 7-2521, a young street sweeper, discovers a hidden tunnel and secretly conducts scientific experiments, ultimately rediscovering electricity. When he presents his invention to the World Council of Scholars, he is condemned as a traitor. Fleeing to the Uncharted Forest with his beloved Liberty 5-3000, he discovers an abandoned house containing forbidden books. There, he rediscovers the sacred word "I," embracing individualism and renaming himself Prometheus.
