Atlas Shrugged
I was told about a book called Atlas Shrugged on 2021/10/10 by yuidvg. It seems to be a book that the American elite are reading, often referred to as The Book Read after the Bible. I bought it on Mercari on 2021/10/14. Here is the link to purchase it on Amazon: Atlas Shrugged Part 1 | Ayn Rand, Ayumi Wakizaka (Translation), Motozumi Nakamikawa (Design) | Book | Online Shopping | Amazon.
I came across a tweet by Kill_TheRich_ on November 28, 2021 discussing Atlas Shrugged. Here is the link to the tweet: November 28, 2021.
Another tweet by __poyopoyopippi on November 28, 2021 caught my attention. The tweet suggests that instead of exerting effort on existing outdated systems, it would be more efficient to create new vehicles and gather young wealthy individuals to establish a new country, either on an island or in a digital space. The tweet also mentions the idea of digitizing the Japanese yen. Here is the link to the tweet: November 28, 2021.
As Atlas Shrugged explores, there are always two sides to every situation, one being right and the other being wrong, with the middle ground always being the worst option.
Certain movies and novels have the power to not only express the spirit of an era or its ideology but also redirect society as a whole towards a new direction. For example, the movie Tokyo Story depicted the common story of the time in Japan, where individuals would leave their feudal hometowns and thrive in the city, and the book Atlas Shrugged, which is said to be the second most read book after the Bible in America, has influenced figures like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs as a source of libertarianism.
