Anthem: A Novel Overview

An urgent, cutting, experimental confrontation with the realities of political life in the twenty-first century, Noah Hawley's Anthem contemplates a world in which America's children begin committing mass suicide as a form of protest against the yawning threat of social and environmental collapse. The novel follows a motley collection of teenagers and young adults who band together and travel across the country to defeat and expose the world's sixth-wealthiest man, E.L. Mobley, for his horrid sex trafficking crimes. Set throughout an increasingly apocalyptic America, from Palm Springs to the Gulf Coast, Anthem tackles wealth, faith, inheritance, politics, and consumerism.
