Ayn Rand’s dystopic science fiction novella
takes place at some unspecified future date.
Mankind has entered another dark age as a
result of what Rand saw as the weaknesses of
socialistic thinking and economics.
Technological advancement is now carefully
planned -- when it is allowed to occur at all --
and the concept of individuality has been
eliminated. As is common in her work, Rand
draws a clear distinction between the
“socialist/communal” values of equality and
brotherhood and the “productive/capitalist”
values of achievement and individuality.
