Ayn Rand (IPA: /ˈaɪn ˈrænd/, February 2 [O.S. January 20] 1905 – March 6, 1982), born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum (Russian: Алиса Зиновьевна Розенбаум), was a Russian-born American novelist, philosopher,[1] playwright and screenwriter. She is widely known for her best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system called Objectivism.

Rand advocated rational individualism and laissez-faire capitalism, categorically rejecting socialism, altruism, and religion. Her ideas remain both influential and controversial.

and I've read Prometheus Road about this kid who gets sent to a digital world in an apparently post apocalyptic time

I've read so many books that I can't remember them and sometimes I end up re-reading one and thinking "Ah.. I think I've read this before."

So I just stick to having favourite authors. XD
