Ayn Rand

 * Anthem
 * A dystopian science-fiction novella


 * ``It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age as a result of [...] the evils of irrationality and collectivism and the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics.``
 * ``Rand describes an unnamed short story, which she read in the Saturday Evening Post circa 1937, that influenced her to write Anthem [...] The story in question was almost certainly Stephen Vincent Benét's "By the Waters of Babylon".``
 * ``Anthem bears notable similarities to Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel ''We, which also influenced George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.``

Coming two months after the announcement that the Gopher protocol was no longer free to use, this produced a rapid shift away from Gopher and towards the Web. An early popular Web browser was ViolaWWW, which was based upon HyperCard.
