Atlas Shrugged is a 1957 novel by Ayn Rand. Rand's fourth and last novel, it was also her longest, and the one she considered to be her magnum opus in the realm of fiction writing.Atlas Shrugged includes elements of science fiction,mystery, and romance, and it contains Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism in any of her works of fiction.
The book depicts a dystopian United States, wherein many of society's most prominent and successful industrialists abandon their fortunes and the nation itself, in response to aggressive new regulations, whereupon most vital industries collapse. The title is a reference to Atlas, a Titan described in the novel as "the giant who holds the world on his shoulders". The significance of this reference appears in a conversation between the characters Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden, in which d'Anconia asks Rearden what advice he would give Atlas upon seeing that "the greater [the titan's] effort, the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders". With Rearden unable to answer, d'Anconia gives his own response: "To shrug".
The film begins the story of Atlas Shrugged, set in a dystopian United States where John Galt leads innovators, from industrialists to artists, in a capital strike, "stopping the motor of the world" to reassert the importance of the free use of one's mind and of laissez-fairecapitalism.
It is 2016 and the United States is in a sustained economic depression. Industrial disasters, resource shortages, and gasoline at $37/gallon have made railroads the primary mode of transportation, but even they are in disrepair. After a major accident on the Rio Norte line of the Taggart Transcontinental railroad, CEO James Taggart shirks responsibility. His sister Dagny Taggart, Vice-President in Charge of Operation, defies him by replacing the aging track with new rails made of Rearden Metal, which is claimed to be lighter yet stronger than steel. Dagny meets with its inventor, Hank Rearden, and they negotiate a deal they both admit serves their respective self-interests.
Dagny Taggart pilots an airplane in pursuit of another plane. Dagny asks herself, "Who is John Galt?" before apparently crashing into a mountainside.
Nine months earlier, Dagny is trying to understand the abandoned prototype of an advanced motor she and her lover Hank Rearden have found. Scientists across the country have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances, but Dagny is able to locate Quentin Daniels, who agrees to help from an abandoned laboratory in Utah.
Dagny's brother James Taggart, president of the family railroad, meets store clerk Cherryl Brooks and brings her to see a renowned pianist, who disappears during his performance, leaving a note asking, "Who is John Galt?" Later, at James and Cherryl's wedding, Dagny's friend Francisco d'Anconia argues with other guests about whether money is evil, and secretly informs Rearden about devastating explosions at his copper mine—the next day. Rearden spends the night with Dagny. Later, he is confronted about the affair by his wife Lillian, but when he offers a divorce she declines, in order to maintain her position in society.
Ayn Rand (/ˈaɪnˈrænd/; born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, Russian:Али́са Зино́вьевна Розенба́ум; February 2[O.S. January 20]1905– March 6, 1982) was a Russian-born American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, Rand moved to the United States in 1926. She had a play produced on Broadway in 1935–1936. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful in America, she achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead.
In 1957, she published her best-known work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own magazines and releasing several collections of essays until her death in 1982. Rand advocated reason as the only means of acquiring knowledge, and rejected faith and religion. She supported rational and ethical egoism, and rejected altruism. In politics, she condemned the initiation of force as immoral, and opposed collectivism and statism as well as anarchism, and instead supported laissez-fairecapitalism, which she defined as the system based on recognizing individual rights. In art, Rand promoted romantic realism. She was sharply critical of most philosophers and philosophical traditions known to her, except for Aristotle and some Aristotelians, and classical liberals.

Book Review: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
I can't even begin to tell you how much I didn't want to read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It felt like a mountain that I would never be able to climb. But then, I realized that life is about overcoming challenges and reaching your goals.
'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
(not even Galt's Gulch)
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from finishing Atlas Shrugged!
Atlas Shrugged is the longest book I have ever read in my life. And I can officially say that I finished the book, and I'm glad I read it! In this book review, there will not be too many spoilers because I want to encourage you to embark on the reading journey of discovery like I did. I hope that I can convince you to try reading Atlas Shrugged for the first time or to pick it up a...

Francisco d'Anconia: The aristocracy of pull. I mean... now it's about influence but you knew that already.
James Taggart: What I know is you need to learn some manners.
Guest #01: Ever doubt that money is the root of all evil? Here's your proof.
Francisco d'Anconia: Oh, so you think money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked yourself what's the root of money? Money is a tool that allows us to trade with one another. Your goods for mine, your efforts for mine; the keystone of civilization. Having money is not the measure of a man, what matter is how he got it. If you p...

Francisco d'Anconia: The aristocracy of pull. I mean... now it's about influence but you knew that already.
James Taggart: What I know is you need to learn some manners.
Guest #01: Ever doubt that money is the root of all evil? Here's your proof.
Francisco d'Anconia: Oh, so you think money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked yourself what's the root of money? Money is a tool that allows us to trade with one another. Your goods for mine, your efforts for mine; the keystone of civilization. Having money is not the measure of a man, what matter is how he got it. If you produce it by creating value then money is a token of honor.
James Taggart: Look who's talking about honor.
Francisco d'Anconia: But if he's taken it from those who produce, then there is no honor. And you're simply a looter.
Guest #02: Senior d'Anconia, we all know that money is made by the strong at the expense of the weak.
Francisco d'Anconia: Hmm... what kind of strength are you talking about? The power to create value, or the ability to manipulate? To extort money in backroom deal, to exercise pull.
James Taggart: Alright. Just leave.
Franciso d'Anconia: What money ceases us to be the tool by which man deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips, chains or dollars; take your choice, there is no other and your time is running out.
Henry Rearden: D'Anconia, I wanna speak to you.
Francisco d'Anconia: Mr. Rearden, to whom do you think I would speak? Tell me, do you own any d'Anconia global commodity stock?
Henry Rearden: No.
Francisco d'Anconia: Good. Because everyone else in this room does and they deserve too.
Henry Rearden: What are you talking about?
Francisco d'Anconia: There was a fire at the d'Anconia ore docks in Valparaiso tomorrow morning. Among related events, the d'Anconia mines will buried under rock slides. Most of them too.
Henry Rearden: Why would you do that?
Francisco d'Anconia: Money is the root of all evil - so I just got tired of being evil.

Atlas Shrugged is a 1957 novel by Ayn Rand. Rand's fourth and last novel, it was also her longest, and the one she considered to be her magnum opus in the realm of fiction writing.Atlas Shrugged includes elements of science fiction,mystery, and romance, and it contains Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism in any of her works of fiction.
The book depicts a dystopian United States, wherein many of society's most prominent and successful industrialists abandon their fortunes and the nation itself, in response to aggressive new regulations, whereupon most vital industries collapse. The title is a reference to Atlas, a Titan described in the novel as "the giant who holds the world on his shoulders". The significance of this reference appears in a conversation between the characters Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden, in which d'Anconia asks Rearden what advice he would give Atlas upon seeing that "the greater [the titan's] effort, the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders". With Rearden unable to answer, d'Anconia gives his own response: "To shrug".
