A Time of Changes by Robert Silverberg
In this science fiction novel, the protagonist lives in a future society on a distant planet where the use of the word "I" is forbidden and individuality is deeply suppressed. The narrative follows his transformative journey after he encounters a banned substance that allows him to experience unfettered self-awareness and emotional expression for the first time. This illicit awakening leads him to question the rigid conventions of his world, ultimately propelling him into a role of revolutionary change as he seeks to share his newfound sense of self with others, challenging the very foundations of his society's strictures against personal identity and emotional connection.
