"With the collapse of the nation and its rapacious government all but certain, Galt emerges to reconstruct a society that will celebrate individual achievement and enlightened self-interest, delivering a long speech (seventy pages in the first edition) serving to explain the novel's theme and Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, in the book's longest single chapter."

Instead of offering pointless invective why not provide at least one reason why you make this comment? Atlas Shrugged has sold six million copies. That's no argument for the thesis put forward in it but its impact on a fair number of thoughtful people over the last fifty years or so at least commands, don't you think, a reasoned comment in that you felt strongly enough to post your one liner?
