Anthem trailer

The world described in this novel is a communist society where the laws say that none among men may be alone, ever and at any time, for this is the great transgression and root of all evil. (17). Every existing creature has to follow the exact commands of the council and never speak up or act for themselves. Unable to choose what kind of job they want for a living, nor choose the one to love and spend a lifetime with, these men are internally blocked in by the prison of the councils.

This trailer basically summarizes the position that all men are in, where even the slightest difference from the other brothers is considered to be sin and punishable by death. Everything must be done as one, and individualism was unallowed to a point where it was unspeakable. Not only does the councils control what the men do for a job but they also manage who can "reproduce" with who, by interpreting the gene pools to create mechanicized human beings.

However, one individual, equality 7-2521 thirsted for knowledge and started to think on his own, independent from the councils. He discovered hints from the past and made the councils fear his actions. His discovery was absolutely forbidden and the councils decided to shut him up from speaking to the society about his discovery by killing him. Already knowing too much about the unmentionable times and able to think and question the councils, equality 7-2521 takes action that changed not only his life but the lives of his whole generation and his loved ones.
