Atlas Shrugged is also a fitting parable. Especially the train with the engine changed to a coal-fired and travelling through a tunnel.

An interesting scene in “Atlas Shrugged” brought about in part because a government bureaucrat onboard the train *demands* to get to his destination, forcing the replacement train crew to swap out the diesel locomotive which has died for a coal-fired steam locomotive; the original train crew having walked off the job because of the danger involved in doing that.

“Atlas Shrugged is also a fitting parable.”

Indeed it is. My wife just finished it and was stunned by how it parallels today’s adventures.
