Anthem and 2081 are both examples of dystopian societies. The characters face various forms of oppression, governmental control, propaganda, and even lose their true identities. We’re given two main characters who fight against the two governments in place and attempt to bring these wrongdoings into the light for others. In Anthem, the dystopian society is run by various houses who refer to themselves and others with plural terms (we, ours, they, them, theirs). In the beginning, Equality claims

The one theory that has stuck in my head that has been disproven is that the Earth has not become warmer since 1998 (T, 2013).
