I first heard about "Atlas Shrugged" during an interview Mark Cuban was giving on Bloomberg. "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand is a sprawling, philosophical novel that explores themes of individualism, capitalism, and the role of the individual in society. Rand's central argument is that the world's problems are caused by the rise of collectivism and the suppression of individual achievement. Through her characters, she extols the virtues of self-reliance, rational thought, and the pursuit of personal happiness.
The novel's length and complex plot can be daunting for some readers, but those who persevere will find a thought-provoking and often controversial work. Rand's writing style is characterized by her strong, declarative sentences and her tendency to oversimplify complex issues. While her philosophy may not resonate with everyone, there is no denying that Atlas Shrugged is a powerful and influential book that has had a lasting impact on American culture.
For a 1000-page novel, I don't actually have much to say, it was a long book that I read between actual reading and audio listening during my commute to work.
