Oh boy I got a fun video for you: https://youtu.be/GmJI6qIqURA @26:50

Atlas Shrugged is so bad that if you didn’t know anything about the author, it could be read as a decent satire.

A monologue that last SIXTY PAGES of dry exposition. Barely credible characterization from the protagonist and villains and extremely poor world building.

Anthem is her better book because it keeps to a simple short story format - but still has a very dull plot that shoehorns ideology throughout. There’s far better philosophical fiction writers out there like Camus, Vonnegut, or Koestler. Skip Rand altogether imo
