Answer:
The novella “Anthem” is set in a Dystopian world where technology, scientific development, education, and equality were under the control of totalitarian leaders. This type of society came into existence after the Great Rebirth when a great war was fought. The land of Anthem seems primitive and distant from our world which equates much with a mythical fantasy land. Ann Rand wrote this novella to give a picture of the future which we would most probably be witnessing. She has tried to highlight the ills in the society which the future is carrying for the coming generation.
After running off from their society, Prometheus (Liberty) and Gaea (Equality) discovers a house on the top of a mountain. With astonishment, they find the house small, colorful with windows, mirrors, bedrooms, clothes kept in closets, and a small library in it. Since they have never witnessed any such thing, they found it strange but at the same time they didn’t want to share these things with anyone else. The society from which they ran away was a communist one where the things which eased the life was under prohibition. They were not allowed to have friends or relationships with one another. Their lives were short and miserable resulting in grief and sadness. The use of technology was minimum, and education was a tool of brainwashing.
Ayn Rand wrote this novel to focus on the ills of the Second World War and against the Soviet Union communism. According to Rand, when an individual focus too much on society he forgets about his own personal life. This novel gives an insight to the ills of Industrial Revolution which valued more on state and erased the values of human rights.

I met Sarah in a Uber and she was my driver to St.Petersburg. I felt really anxious talking to her after all she’s just another stranger. She has dark black hair, a smile that brightens the night. I asked her how long she has been an Uber for as a conversation starter. She then said:”I only started about a week ago. It’s been really tough lately for me and my roommate on campus.” I felt quite bad for her. She works two minimum wage jobs and on top of that she works as a Uber. As soon we arrived at my grandmas apartment I gave her a tip of $20. She thanked me and said that it’s going to help her tonight. Right when I was about to leave the car, I forgot something: her phone number. I ran back to the car and asked her. I woke up realizing it was all a dream. I took my medicine and went to the kitchen for breakfast. I turned on the tv and the news came on as usually at 7 in the morning. There was a hostage situation in a Uber at 6:30. The news paper came in.
The headline for today was:”After all this, I realized that I owed it all to her” those were the last words of a emotionally disturbed man after taking his life on camera.
