Fuck Atlas shrugging. Catchy title, stupid metaphor.
Would a book entitled "Sisyphus said 'screw this' and went off to play Halo" sell?

Atlas Shrugged is brilliant when you read it in high school but then you grow up and realize that nobody would want to live in a world like that.
The problem with Atlas Shrugged is the supposition that lefty parasites would ever be content to let anyone, anywhere, alone. As their archetype Stalin proved to the Kulaks.
