	Atlas Shrugged - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the USA.
		However, Rand claimed that it is not a fundamentally political book, but that the politics portrayed in the novel are a result of her attempt to display her image of the ideal man and the position of the human mind in society.
		Rights to the novel Atlas Shrugged were puchased by the Baldwin Entertainment Group in 2003 with the intent of producing a feature-length film.

	Technology in Atlas Shrugged - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Technology in Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand's novel includes a variety of technological products and devices.
		In addition to real world technology (aircraft, automobiles, diesel engines, phonograph records, radios, telephones, television, and traffic signals) Atlas Shrugged also includes various fictional technologies or fictional variants on real inventions.
		This implies the older technology of mechanical traffic signals, the kind which displayed a pennant or flag indicating stop or go, and the inverse indicator in the opposite direction.

	Atlas Shrugged (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Atlas Shrugged reads like a mystery that takes readers from a steel mill to high society and includes a strong female character in Dagny Taggart, a top executive ahead of her time.
		But Atlas Shrugged is more point-blank with Rand's philosophy, and it's the second-most-influential book of all time, a distant second to the Bible, according to a survey of 5,000 Book-of-the-Month Club members taken a decade ago for the Library of Congress.
		Atlas Shrugged devotees say America's wealth builders will never go on strike the way Rand described, but they say a quasistrike is underway.

		Like many of my favorite books (George Orwell’s 1984, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World) Atlas Shrugged carries a strong political message, or at least acts as a commentary on the state of politics, freedoms, and economics in our age.
		Even Dagny, Atlas Shrugged’s hero, uses her emotions and intense love for Hank Rearden, and later John Galt, to help shape her perception of reality, and Rand never condemns her for it.
		Atlas Shrugged really upset me because of the methodical way in which the “overachievers” were overwhelmed by the morons around them.

	Penguin Reading Guides \| Atlas Shrugged \| Ayn Rand
		Atlas Shrugged (1957) is a mystery story, Ayn Rand once commented, "not about the murder of man’s body, but about the murder—and rebirth—of man’s spirit." It is the story of a man—the novel’s hero—who says that he will stop the motor of the world, and does.
		Dramatizing Ayn Rand’s complete philosophy, Atlas Shrugged is an intellectual revolution told in the form of an action thriller of violent events—and with a ruthlessly brilliant plot and irresistible suspense.

		Roman technology is the set of artifacts and customs which supported Roman civilization and made the expansion of Roman commerce and Roman military might possible over nearly a thousand years.
		The Roman Empire had the most advanced set of technologies of their time, which in many areas was lost during the dark ages, and was only equalled in the 19th and 20th centuries.
		By the Renaissance many of the discrete technological elements had been rediscovered and others, such as firearms, advanced sailing ship technologies, and moveable type printing, went ahead of what the Romans had done.

	Atlas Shrugged and the revolution
		If you’ve ever read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand you might appreciate the irony of having one of Rand’s supporters and co-authors Alan Greenspan play a major roll in perpetrating the same kind of fascist/national socialist fraud on the American people and global investors that the 'second handers' in Rand's story do.

	Did you ever read....Atlas Shrugged? - Cyburbia Forums
		Atlas Shrugged was given to me as a farewell gift by my boss when I left my first public sector planning job.
		I mean, her attacks on postmodern philosophy are semantic at best (paraphrased quote: "Can you question the existence of a bullet as it imbeds itself into your body?"), her praise of "enlightened selfishness" is more the naive impractical philosphy that it is, as oppossed to the simple, more existentialist message in Fountainhead.
