Anthem by Ayn Rand.
Basically, the world is different, as in, your life isn't in your control, it's controlled by others. You cannot call yourself, "I" you must always refer yourself to "we," or "us." Equality 7-2521 is the main character, and has a fascination of educating himself because he knows that he is different from everyone, who must be the same. He sees Liberty 5-3000 one day, who later becomes his love interest. He finds a mysterious tunnel and educate himself. And throughout the book, you're trying to figure out what the unspeakable word is.
Oh! I've read Anthem in 8th grade, actually. Such an engaging story, but you can really see the author portraying themselves through Equality. I remember also having to write an epilogue to the story, such fun. I guess I mostly remember it because I was one of the only people who scored 100%, haha...
Classic literature. Good book.
