What do you get when you combine the teachings of Ayn Rand and a synthesizer? Well, a sci-fi musical of course! The new musical The Anthem is based off the capitalist author's novella "Anthem," and tells the story of a revolt of the young against an evil state.
In a world where individuality is illegal, Prometheus abandons everything to confront the State -- controlled by the overlord of evil efficiency, Tiberius. With a forbidden copy of Ayn Rand's ancient tome in hand,
can Prometheus overthrow the system?

My favorite Ayn Rand book is Atlas Shrugged. It was a long read -- and a bleak one at that -- but it did raise interesting discussions in class about personal responsibility and human selfishness.
