Meet the author
Ayn Rand was a towering 20th-century novelist and philosopher who created the influential philosophy of Objectivism, championing reason, individualism, and rational self-interest. Born in Russia, her firsthand experience with communist tyranny fueled a passionate, lifelong defense of individual liberty and artistic freedom. This profound opposition to collectivism directly inspired her early dystopian novella, Anthem, which serves as a powerful fable celebrating the unconquerable spirit of the individual against the crushing weight of the group.
