This novella takes place sometime in the far distant future in a totally controlled society and it will surely make you stop and think long after you turn the final page.

This might make a good introduction to Ayn Rand--it was mine. And unlike her other works, you can download it free--and legally--online at Project Gutenberg and other sites. Perhaps her estate thought it might entice new readers? It's short, for one--a mere novella of just 128 pages--not a behemoth ...
