What I’d really really like to see sometime is the following:<\/p>\n
Ayn Rand and discussions of John Galt and her Atlas Shrugged <\/em>abound everywhere these days. For a while, every time that I saw someone mentioning Ayn Rand I’d pop in with “did you ever read Matt Ruff’s Public Works Trilogy?” Sewer, Gas and Electric: The Public Works Trilogy<\/a><\/em> is an absolutely<\/em> hysterical book. It’s just a little dangerous … in the “you’ll laugh so hard you’ll be in danger doing harm to yourself and those around you.”<\/p>\n So, what would I like to see. I’d like to see someone<\/em> take my advice and read this book and then tell me how much they enjoyed it. I’ve lent it to people and they’ve really liked it. Libertarians and the like are enamoured of Ms Rand it seems. Do they not have<\/em> any sense of humor. Why does it seem that they’ve never heard of this book. And why do they ignore the chance to read this escapes me.<\/p>\n So humor me.
