"In the year 2081, amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, radios inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic."

Have people stopped reading or ever read this story? I was forced to read it in high school so I kinda figured everyone had read it, but maybe not. I feel like this is more and more what is being worked towards and I find it kinda of scary.
