How so? As you can guess, I haven’t read it.
California descends into a state of total anarchy. In the end of the book (after Dagny Taggart has gone on strike) her secretary Eddie Willers meets his death trying to reestablish a transcontinental railroad into California.
My roommate Mr K finally read Atlas Shrugged at my urging, after years of being like “NO! NEVER! I WILL NEVER READ THAT BOOK!” I bought him a copy and he started reading it and he read the entire thing. He still raves about it. Yeah, we’re boring.
