Just finished reading “Who is John Galt” and I have to say very well done. I have not done a “side-by-side” comparison with the original threads to look for the edits, but it struck me that the book felt “complete” except I kept wanting to “post” observations... habit I suppose.

I see no publishing house. Did y'all decide to self-publish after all?

Are sales going well?

One thing occurred to me while reading the Coda. You say that Ayn didn't advance the story beyond the end of the book, but I have always thought that Anthem was her vision of the post-Shrugged world and the start of the rebirth.

Again, great job and thank you for the mention.

We self-published. The big publishers are only printing books from “bankable” authors that have been in the pipeline for the past 5 years. The industry is flat on its ack. We threw the dice and went with it.

Many thanks! It isn't a very marketable book, actually, because it isn't all that easy to read and neither was Atlas Shrugged. You can't encounter ideas of that magnitude without working a little, but you already know that. Not everyone is willing to do that, and frankly, not everyone is capable.

What does happen after Atlas shrugs? I think that he regards the shattering of the world before him as thoroughly deserved but the poor, doomed wretch picks it back up again anyway. He can do no other.

Best to you!
