Atlas Shrugged

by Ayn Rand
$9.90
Atlas Shrugged
Atlas Shrugged

Dystopian philosophy meets epic industrial struggle.

Imagine a world where the thinkers and doers, those who drive innovation and growth, vanish. "Atlas Shrugged" is more than just a novel; it's a journey into Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy wrapped in a gripping story of economic collapse and personal awakening. If the idea of exploring a brutally capitalistic dystopia intrigues you, and you're drawn to ambitious narratives with philosophical underpinnings, this book is likely to captivate your mind and provoke thought on individualism versus collectivism.

Description

A towering philosophical novel that is the summation of her Objectivist philosophy, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is the saga of the enigmatic John Galt and his ambitious plan to 'stop the motor of the world'. Opening with the enigmatic question 'Who is John Galt?', Atlas Shrugged envisions a world where the 'men of talent' - the great innovators, producers, and creators - have mysteriously disappeared. With the US economy now faltering, businesswoman Dagny Taggart is struggling to get the transcontinental railroad up and running. For her, John Galt is the enemy, but as she will learn, nothing in this situation is quite as it seems. Hugely influential and grand in scope, this story of a man who stopped the motor of the world expounds Rand's controversial philosophy of Objectivism, which champions competition, creativity, and human greatness. If you enjoyed Atlas Shrugged, you might like Rand's The Fountainhead, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
