Popular fantasy and science fiction writer China Miéville has recently published an online guide to socialist fantasy literature entitled Fifty Fantasy & Science Fiction Works That Socialists Should Read. Why would this be of interest to Rand admirers? Amusingly enough, Atlas Shrugged appears on the list, though it is described in less-than-favorable terms:
Ayn Rand?Atlas Shrugged (1957)
Know your enemy. This panoply of portentous Nietzcheanism lite has had a huge influence on American SF. Rand was an obsessive ?objectivist? (libertarian pro-capitalist individualist) whose hatred of socialism and any form of ?collectivism? is visible in this important an influential?though vile and ponderous?novel.
To view the rest of the recommendations, see the full list. (Though this list would be a much better choice!)
