It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age characterized by irrationality, collectivism, and 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAwards\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Libertarian Futurist Society awarded Anthem its Hall of Fame Award in 1987.
