About the book
Ayn Rand presents her philosophy through an ambitious fictional epic set in a dystopian future. The novel follows John Galt and other "men of production" in their protest against a system that punishes success and rewards mediocrity.
Controversial and deeply influential, Atlas Shrugged is a radical exploration of capitalism, individualism, and the power of reason, capable of provoking intense reflection in readers regardless of whether they agree with it.

”When I read [Ayn Rand's books] in the late '80s, it seemed pretty crazy. And over the past few decades, in a lot of ways it has seemed much more right.”
