About This Book

In the dystopian world of "Atlas Shrugged," individuals pursue their own ambitions, driven by reason and self-interest. As society crumbles under the weight of collectivism, industrialist Dagny Taggart struggles to keep her railroad company afloat. She uncovers a mysterious figure, John Galt, who leads a strike of the creative minds responsible for society's progress. Guided by their values and principles, they retreat to a hidden oasis known as Galt's Gulch. As the world collapses, Dagny races against time to understand the philosophy of the strike and find Galt. Will she unravel the mystery and join the revolt against society's suffocating embrace? "Atlas Shrugged" explores the power of individualism and the consequences of sacrificing the pursuit of excellence for the sake of the collective.

What People Are Saying

Celebrate the creators in the world (even when they struggle). They may be more valuable than we think.

Far and away my favorite book is Atlas Shrugged

Blake Scholl

Very appealing if you're a sophomore in college. A counterpoint to communism and useful as such, but should be tempered with kindness.

Elon Musk

When I first read [Atlas Shrugged] in the 80s, it felt pretty crazy, and in the last decade, in many ways it's felt much more correct
