In "Anthem" by Ayn Rand, the "Unspeakable Times" refer to the period of collectivist Dictatorship and repression that led to the society depicted in the book. It is a time when critical thinking, individuality, and personal freedoms were suppressed and punished. The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, discovers forbidden knowledge from this era that challenges the oppressive regime's control over society.
