Sci-Fi History: Atlas Shrugged (1957)


Ayn Rand’s masterwork centers around an America where people refuse to be exploited by government. Rather than surrender to high taxes and regulation, they shutter themselves in. The book delves into the failures of big government and focuses on individualism and reason. Leftists HATE the work with a passion. Interestingly, some of the reactions Rand writes about happened in the 1970s and the 2010s.
