Kindle eBook edition of Ayn Rand's novel Anthem.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00INIT...YFA40
Also available at https://www.gutenberg.o
Ayn Rand's Anthem is a short dystopic novel about a man who escapes a society from which all individuality has been squeezed. Its allegory is crudely transparent, and the ideas have lost their political urgency. (The book was published in 1938, a decade before Orwell's 1984.) But Anthem provides a good introduction to Rand's philosophy of "objectivism," which is built on individuality, freedom, and reason. Paul Meier is an excellent choice for the novel's first-person narrator--he manages to maintain an urgency in his voice, pleading but never whining, mirroring the main character's struggle against his totalitarian world.

Nothing but crumpled porno and Ayn Rand.

Then again, you can always resort to the tried-and-true "But she took Social Security payments!" (The one she paid into with roughly 12% of her entire life's income).

There is no question, even in Rand's journals, that she saw him as a monster. The claim that she wrote him letters is 100% false, and that she "idolized" him is also completely false. She studied him from the perspective of a writer trying to understand and encapsulate a broader picture than what most people saw. Any good writer does this in everything they do.

Rand's views were that human beings are capable of great good when they're guided by a rational code of morality that respects the rights of all individuals to their own lives. And while I agree that some of her rhetoric can sound "mean spirited", I also understand where it comes from: She lived through the Bolshevik Revolution and saw, first hand, how Communism wrecked the lives of millions of people, inculcating a sense of fear and hopelessness even while it spread poverty, oppression, and death. When she came to the US, and saw people who genuinely believed Communism was "a noble experiment", she was horrified, and feared that the US would make the same terrible mistake as the Russians did and birth another nightmare like the Soviet Union.

There are plenty of real things to criticize about Rand and Objectivism. Why are you making some up?
