The theme of I being a forbidden word is shared with Ayn Rand's 1938 novella " Anthem". The novel is presented in the style of an autobiography, written by Kinnall while he awaits impending capture and imprisonment for his cultural crimes. A powerful new drug enables protagonist Kinnall Darival to attain telepathic contact with others, and this sharing brings him the courage to lead a revolution against his repressive culture. The novel is set in a culture where the first person singular is forbidden, and words such as I or me are treated as obscenities or social errors. It won the Nebula Award for that year, and was also nominated for the 1972 Hugo and Locus Awards. A Time of Changes is a 1971 science fiction novel by American writer Robert Silverberg. ![]()
