Atlas Shrugged (Softcover) by Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand's magnum opus is a philosophical thriller, the story of a society's slow collapse as the men of ability go on strike against the creed that treats them as sacrificial animals. From the blast furnaces of a steel mill to the drawing rooms of high society, from the classrooms of philosophers to the decks of a pirate ship, Rand portrays the role of reason in Man's life.
