Ayn Rand in HD

It’s official.  Ayn Rand’s magnum opus, Atlus Shrugged, is finally going to become a film after years of speculation and attempts to secure rights and funding.  The trailer was released earlier this week.  We think it looks amazing.

The film will follow Rand’s story about Dagny Taggart, powerful railroad executive, in her fight to keep her company alive.  All around her, society begins falling apart.  Lights go out.  Cities become cold.  The cause, she believes, is one genius, John Galt, who has once claimed he would stop the motor of the world.  Those who have read Rand’s novel need not hear more, and for those of you who have not, we have a particularly useful tool to allow you to get into the mind of the great novelist and thinker.

Get ready for the movie with Ayn Rand For Beginners, or check out some of the other titles in the series for illustrated explanations of topics from Philosophy to Zen, from Chomsky to Rand, here.
