Ayn Rand's classic tale of a dystopian future of the great "We" - a world that deprives individuals of a name or independence - that anticipates her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

They existed only to serve the state. They were conceived in controlled Palaces of Mating. They died in the Home of the Useless. From cradle to grave, the crowd was one - the great WE. In all that was left of humanity, there was only one man who dared to think, seek, and love. He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world, he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization, he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: He had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He was a man alone. He had rediscovered the lost and holy word - I.

"I worship individuals for their highest possibilities as individuals, and I loathe humanity, for its failure to live up to these possibilities."-Ayn Rand

This story was quite interesting, the society described within is all about the collective. Everyone is the same and is encouraged to not stand out intellectually or emotionally. Even something as simple as being tall is frowned upon and the premise is simple: all men are one. This is a world bereft of ego, we is all there is and I or the question 'what' is severely frowned upon. A world where the human spirit is snuffed out, sacrificed on the altar of the collective and all are one. This is really a book about self discovery and how the main character comes to find themselves in their thoughts and actions.

Dystopian future where all mankind has become one but not in a good way.

Muito interessante a descrição de uma sociedade “utópica”, onde pune-se por ser diferente, por questionar, por querer saber, por dizer aquilo que não se pode dizer. Em suma, um mundo não muito diferente do qual que vivemos hoje.

Um espelho de nosso tempo.
