Anthem by Ayn Rand

Anthem
This has been on my list forever to read but never got around to it. Had I known that it was less than 100 pages and only an hour or so read, I might have gotten there sooner.

Anthem is the story of Equality 7-2521, who is growing to manhood after a period called "the Unmentionable Times". He has reached his 15th year and is about to be assigned to his life's work by the Council of Vocations. However, Equality 7-2521 feels that there is something wrong with him as he does not always thinks the same as the collective or want to follow the path chosen for him by others.

A very interesting look at a very scary future.
