Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club.

This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world - and did. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he fight his hardest battle not against his enemies, but against the woman he loves?

Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus and launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.

This classic is very appropriate for the time we are living in. It's the best dystopic novel because it plants the seed of hope.

very relevant

A long story about industry collapsing because of the horrible systems put in place by pathetic Liberal socialists where all the Conservative capitalists decide to leave together and hide out while the world falls apart while all the Liberals try and out "needy" eachother instead of trying to succeed cause they made it so successful and rich are punished and thought to be evil and greedy. The book has some really amazing quotes and ideas but be prepared for them to be far apart from eachother cause book is a long one. it's pretty good though. I would call it a must read just for some good knowledge on how the world works even though this is set in like the 30s or something? 40s maybe ? I forget. Get it if you have some long drives ahead.

Long, repetitive book against socialism.
