When he says that he will stop the motor of the world, is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battles not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves?<br><br>You will know the answer to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this book.

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

Imagine a world where being 'selfless' is seen as a vice and 'rational selfishness' is the highest virtue. This book is the manifesto for that world. Ayn Rand❤️🌹
