Equality 7-2521 knows only “we” not “I”. His futuristic society he lives in adopted the socialistic government and now everyone is equal…to an extreme. Forbidden are you to speak your mind. Living for the sake of your brothers is the only reason you live. And favoritism towards a single brother is considered evil. So goes this mindless life. Only one man is willing to fight for his freedom.

This novella is a quick and easy read, but has such a deep meaning, you find yourself thinking about it even after you have read it. Who am I? This becomes the question the main character asks himself and through his exploration, you find out a little bit about yourself. Through this journal-like novella you see the impact of socialism and the quest to finding yourself.
