About
*Atlas Shrugged* is a dystopian novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957. The story is set in a United States where private businesses are collapsing under increasingly oppressive government regulations, and it explores themes of individualism, capitalism, and the role of the mind in human existence.
The book is intended for readers interested in philosophical fiction, particularly those who appreciate Objectivist philosophy or narratives that examine the impact of societal and political systems on individual freedom and achievement. It is often read by students of philosophy, economics, and political science.
“On his reading list for its core lesson: 'Celebrate the creators in the world. They may be more valuable than we think.'”· Brian Armstrong
