Harrison Bergeron, written by Kurt Vonnegut in 1961, is a dystopian science fiction set in a future society in 2081. It presents an imaginary world where people are totally controlled by the system and everyone must be at the same intelligence, appearance and ability level. Indeed people who portray an higher intelligence are penalised by a handicap, for example beautiful girls are forced to wear ugly masks to conceal their beauty. The main purpose of this short story is to criticize the media and authority's control of society. 

We enjoyed this short story more then "The ones who walk away from Omelas" because the scene was much more dynamic due to the presence of dialogues  between the characters.
