Anthem - Softcover

The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them.

Do not speak of the Unmentionable Times of the Distant Past. Do not explore the world around you. Do not think of the opposite sex until the annual Time of Mating. Do not question the life role the Council of Vocations assigns you. These are all transgressions that must be purged from society.

Equality 7-2521 has always considered himself a school, and a scholar should always be in pursuit of the truth. From one transgression to the next, Equality 7-2521 first begins to explore the forbidden places, and soon, he finds himself conducting science experiments.
