Ayn Rand's Anthem: The Graphic Novel by Dan Parsons
4.0
This only made me want to read the novel and everything else Rand wrote.
This was a graphic novel— based on the novel— about a futuristic dystopian society that has ceased to stress the power of the individual. “I” is no longer a word in their vocabulary. One man is set apart from the rest, and we follow him throughout his discoveries and adventures. It also has themes of anti-communism and being self-sufficient.
“And [I] thought suddenly, that there was a great satisfaction to be found in the food which we need and obtain by our own hand.”
