Kurt Vonnegut’s dystopian story‚ Harrison Bergeron‚ is set in the year 2081‚ when everyone has been made equal. The means used to create this equality are not in any way unthinkable‚ although we may like to turn them away and think of them as such.

In the 60s however‚ with the anti-war protests and movements‚ citizens of the US became more aware
