Summary
Equality 7-2521 is a young man who yearns to understand "the Science of Things," but he lives in a bleak, dystopian future where independent thought is a crime and where science and technology have regressed to primitive levels. All expressions of individualism have been suppressed in his world: personal possessions are nonexistent, individual preferences are condemned as sinful, and romantic love is forbidden. Obedience to the collective is so deeply ingrained that the very word "I" has been erased. In pursuit of his quest for knowledge, Equality 7-2521 struggles to answer the questions that burn within him.
