Have you ever read Socratic dialogues? It's a bit like that, where characters come to embody certain philosophical positions, except the scope is broadened beyond just discussion/debate and into action (which allows it to be a novel).
- dyeje 12y agoYeah, each character is like a caricature. I think even if you don't like Rand's ideas, it's still a pretty good book. Also, you can always read The Fountainhead first. It's shorter than Atlas Shrugged but very similar. If you like The Fountainhead, then you'll almost certainly like Atlas Shrugged.
