In the first part, readers meet the main characters, brilliant entrepreneurs who are opposed to their antipodes - incompetent government officials. The narrative begins with the question: who is John Galt? And the heroes of the novel and its readers will search for the answer to this question.

The second part of the novel 'Atlas Shrugged' is a social forecast. In a situation where the government takes a course on 'equal opportunity', believing it is fair to make the worthless and untalented rich at the expense of the talented and wealthy, everyone ends up losing. The ban on the development of production and the lobbying of the interests of the 'right' people destroy society. The dynamics of the narrative are set by the complex interweaving of the destinies of the heroes, love affairs and the mystery of who John Galt is.

The third part of the novel 'Atlas Shrugged' debunks the delusions of dreamy fighters for equality and brotherhood. Government officials, hypocritically calling on citizens to sacrifice themselves while restricting free enterprise, are leading the country to economic collapse. The plot is woven together by financial and political intrigue, while simultaneously resonating with a hymn to a new ethic: the capitalist value system is not only socially justified but also moral. The hero of the new world, the brilliant inventor John Galt, proclaims the principle of 'the morality of rational egoism' with one phrase: 'I will never live for another man, nor ask another man to live for me.'
