In this book Tobias Wolff makes Rand an actual character and roasts her hilariously.

The Fountainhead has vivid imagery. It's not worth reading though.

Back in the day I probably should have read that instead of Atlas Shrugged. At least I'd have been able to get halfway through without trying to hang myself in the closet.

It's so on the nose that it's basically a punch in the face.

And surpasses believability. The bad guy lawyer's speech is one of the stupidest things that I ever read.

Giving everyone equal control of a warehouse/shop or any other work environment is a fundamentally stupid idea. Regardless of it completely ignoring the fact that somebody invested into making the company/product in the first place, it's just silly to expect everyone to collectively make decisions that will please everyone equally, and result in an efficient production/service.
