Read ANTHEM, because it's short. And then you can get a laugh out of Atlas Shrugged 2: Shrug Harder.

P.S. I consider ANTHEM one of those sci-fi books that are Good But Wrong Due To Insufficient Social Sciences.

Back in college, I read her essay about the wrongness of altruism and found only one error in her logic. However, said error was the size of a mack truck, so I have trouble believing anyone ever took the essay seriously.

The idea of altruism being wrong sounds, erm. Wrong.
