Atlas Shrugged

Atlas Shrugged is a sweeping philosophical epic about a world unraveling under the weight of its own contradictions—and the extraordinary individuals who choose to withdraw their strength from it. As industry collapses, innovation stalls, and society turns on its most brilliant minds, a single question echoes across the nation: Who is John Galt?

In a time when achievement is punished and mediocrity rewarded, railroad executive Dagny Taggart struggles to keep her company alive amidst growing chaos. But as the brightest minds mysteriously vanish, she uncovers a radical truth: the world’s great thinkers, inventors, and creators are on strike—led by the enigmatic Galt, a man determined to remake civilization on new terms.

Part mystery, part romance, and part manifesto, Ayn Rand’s magnum opus explores the clash between individual ambition and collective obligation. With passion and precision, Atlas Shrugged presents Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism, championing reason, free will, and the moral right to pursue one’s own happiness.
