I’m well into the book right now.
It took a while to get going but I forced myself.
Glad I did because there are gems of wisdom in the book.
A lot of fluff and then a passage hits you. Wow, change the name of the gov agency to EPA or some other and it fits today.
$$$$$
I just finished listening to the Audio version - 45 CDs - and I couldn’t fast forward (as one could skim in the paper version) in case I missed one of the critical passages. Some of her preaching was excruciating, but the message was chilling.
Since listening to current news, and reading current news, was interspersed with this marathon of CDs, I was truly ill by the comparison of what the Obama regime is attempting and what Ayn Rand described over 50 years ago.
Chilling! The more people feel ‘entitled’ to life without effort, the more our civilization will be destroyed.
I hadn’t really thought of the Producers being the villains/despots and the ‘Looters” being revered but she is exactly correct.
The similarities between our society today and the one she portrays is amazingly close.
Our country has quite gotten to the state of her vision but is certainly headed in that direction.
I can’t imagine a movie being made of the book though. Esp. a trilogy.
