It is a loooooooong and windy book.

Rand's "Anthem" is a shorter book covering many of the same concepts as "Atlas Shrugged" of a dystopian future where individualism has been wiped out by collectivists. Actually, "Anthem" would make a good movie, but I suppose Hollywood would rather make "Transformers 42" instead. Don't want to make any movies that criticize the Regime, even tangentially; look at what happened to Dinesh D'Souza. Make a movie criticizing the Regime, get prosecuted by the Regime.

I was forced to read "Anthem" in H.S. and it sucked. George Orwell told the same story 10X better in "1984". Perhaps that's his book is a household name today and Rand's is not.
