In this story everyone had the exact same schedule everyone had the exact same house and car, it was so similar that you could use any car or any house, no one had any possessions. they watched tv at the same time and went to bed at the same time. 

They either all had the same name or they had no name, but the name character decided to name himself City, and he started to go home to the same house everyday. He did some other stuff that made him an individual and the Government, which I think was called Government, found out that someone was doing things differently. 

I think the main character left his tv on longer than he should so they pulled everyone out of their homes and killed them. 

I read this with my class about 5 years ago and I can't find the text anywhere. I didn't have the author either, and I'm not even sure if "Same" is the right title.
