No kidding. But is a 50 year old libertarian/conservative novel the best we can come up with?
It just gripes me no end to see conservatives sifting the ashes of that half-century old novel, while ignoring equally good fiction that is up to date in all areas.
And you can't get more up to date than my third novel, published 2 weeks ago.

I guess you think Shakespeare is outdated too. The thing about great literature is that it is timeless. Good luck with your stuff, but the way to promote it isn't to put down a book like
Atlas Shrugged as being just a "half-century old novel." In fact, I would suggest that by demeaning Rand's work, you have rather demeaned your own, in my eyes at least.
