Atlas Shrugged
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand is a sprawling philosophical novel that presents the author's theory of Objectivism through a dystopian narrative about a society collapsing under the weight of anti-capitalist regulations and government overreach.
Discussed“Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged", you know the book, "Atlas Shrugged" or "Fountainhead". I get asked on podcasts like this, like which one is your favorite books? And I'm like "Atlas Shrugged". So I guess there's an Ayn Rand society that reached out to me and said, oh, I know that your favorite book is "Atlas Shrugged,"”
