The Banning Of The Internet In Ayn Rand's Anthem

Anthem is a novel by Ayn Rand about the ban of the idea of a single person existing. Instead, the idea was that the entire society was one person. There was a strict list of taboo words and things that weren't allowed in this community. I've been given one modern thing that “has been banned.” Use of the internet.

My reaction to the “banning” of the internet would be quite harsh. I spend a good eight hours or longer on the internet each day, writing, watching YouTube, and talking to my friends. A complete shutdown of the Internet would result in a loss of communication, a source of entertainment, and the origin of most of my creative outlets.

Though the government might find the termination of the Internet useful in some circumstances, I have no doubt that it may result in riots, violence, protests, and more in order to get it
