    As someone who was encouraged by their father to read Atlas Shrugged at quite a young age (I was a precocious reader), and later in life became much more aware of the rank fallacies and elisions in the core concepts of the book (to the extent that I lean rather heavily socialist nowadays), I would read this revised edition.

    It’s like a satire of the original work, but the original work is so clearly unrealistic and biased that these days, I’d almost call it a parody of itself, and that this adaptation is a far more honest and rational narrative.
