Summary:
The year is 2053. The Second American Revolution has been won and equality has finally been achieved-- by making the entire population middle-of-the-road! Everybody is average-- except for Harrison Bergeron. A hopelessly bright young man, he is destined for brain surgery to correct his superior intellect-- until he concocts a plan to liberate the people through a Third American Revolution. But there's always one problem with changing the world ... it may not want to be changed.
