    Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in “we” or “us” and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair “The Golden One” like she’s some kind of “chosen one” prophet.

    Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something

      Any Rand using pronouns? No. Bullshit. No way. Not possible. Trans and woke hadn’t even been invented yet. Enough of your gay commie propaganda
