Atlas Shrugged / Ayn Rand

Overview

Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s 1957 magnum opus, a towering masterpiece of fiction that serves as the definitive statement of her philosophy, Objectivism. Part philosophical treatise, part mystery, and part dystopian thriller, this monumental novel explores a world where the driving forces of society—the thinkers, inventors, and industrialists—suddenly begin to vanish.
