Publisher's Synopsis
Rand's debut published work is a hard one to swallow. At least it was when it was originally published, it is much easier to digest these days. This Kane Classics Edition of the text revises the language of the original to bring it up to 2022 standards and also provides a brand new Forward. Mathew Kane mixes HST-style Gonzo writing with an academic essay flair while examining Rand's work, yet still treating the text with reverence. Kane's ultimate achievement, though, is bringing the work into context with a post-pandemic society. The second dark age of man could be upon us, but Rand and Kane remind us that our children's children will break free of tyranny should our generation fall to the whims of psychotic despots.
