But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: standing out from the mindless human herd. Ayn Rands classic tale of a dystopian future of the great "We"-a world that deprives individuals of a name or independence-anticipates her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
