"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand
Many of you are probably familiar with Ayn Rand, a Russian-American novelist who wrote all-time classics such as We the Living and The Fountainhead . Many consider her magnum opus to be Atlas Shrugged , a complex philosophical book which presents a very bizarre and imaginative story in which Ayn Rand explores the concept of objectivism. In Atlas Shrugged , we are presented with a story which follows a man who successfully stopped the motor of the world. However, the consequences of his actions are far from clear-cut; some see him as a destroyer, others as a liberator.
