"Atlas Shrugged" is the biography of John Galt, a man who was more than a man, a man who was more than a myth, a man who you, like others, will be very tired of after you finally meet him. Don't tell him I said that. The first sentence of the book is "Who is John Galt?", because he is the central character and theme of this book. And, due to it being all about him, you must endure the overly repetitive theme of him throughout this article.
