This copy of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is a first edition, first printing of the best-selling dystopian novel that Rand considered to be her magnus opus. Utilizing a futuristic setting marked by economic and political disfunction where productive and innovative individuals in business, science, and the arts begin mysteriously disappearing, Rand showcases her philosophy of Objectivism through a discussion of individual rights and what it means to pursue happiness in a free market society. Atlas Shrugged was the last fiction novel Rand published during her lifetime, produced in 1957 by Random House in New York.
