I never really liked Ayn Rand (Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum), yes, that name is far too good to be true. Something about her and the people who were so devoted to her always annoyed me.

Its narrative is dated (though not much, as there are very relevant sections up to now), having been published first in 1968, when I [...]
