Oh god I know. If she wanted to write something that turns liberals into caricatures so overblown that it stops being useful as a critique then she should have just done another essay. Quit writing dull fiction, you cow. I got halfway through
Atlas Shrugged and just couldn't take it anymore. I don't care about some revolutionary metal. I don't care about some revolutionary car engine. I don't care about a train ride. I don't care about what these are metaphors for. I just care about setting this book on fire so I can jump off a cliff to rid myself of your awful, awful writing.
And I say this as someone who was a goofy libertarian at the time.
