Are you me? I got to the part slightly past that where she and her mcsleuth buddy find an abandoned warehouse and discover a device she had never seen before but immediately recognized as some perpetual motion device. I stopped there. Please help. Does the reveal make it worth it or what.

Looking for a spin off, but more of The Fountainhead? Try Murder By Pizza. Instead of a white collar architect, it is about a blue collar pizza chef.

John Galt is more than worth it. Keep going and finish the whole thing. He has a great rant/speech at one point and towards the end he does something i thought to be pretty awesome.

Is a fifty page monologue of we're the beautiful, brilliant (rebuilding the rich thing), people and the government is evil and stops people from being free and wealthy sound worth it? Also externalities are not real.

If this is a conclusion you crave go for it, but Mill/Locke/Rousseau would have some suggestions for improvements.

It's a philosophical text, the actual story barely matters, most of it is only a setup to a giant speech in the end and the underlying perspective is what makes it such an important book.

John Galt is Riordan the whole time. He's living on a secret island the female protagonist gets to by single-handedly flying there via biplane (btw it's her first time piloting lololol).

What impresses me about Ayn Rand is not that she wrote a trash novel, but that she was able to write so much of it. I guess having an editor would have been communism though.
