Reminds me of Atlas Shrugged which I only just read in the last year or so. Who is John Galt? Apparently whoever he was he died of mysterious reasons right before sharing his engine.
I liked it. I thought it's flavor of dystopia was as interesting as Huxley's or Orwell's. The National Institute of Science she portrayed was so on point when the released a statement without any actual science smearing the new metal for safety concerns I felt it was perfection. Now I think of myself as a leftist so I came in cold. In fact had tried to read it a few times before and couldn't get into it. But this time it took.
I must admit I haven't read any of it in 50 years, and at the time I just read a few pages here and there. I remember long, tiresome philosophical polemics. Recently, I read David Sloan Wilson's novel, Atlas Hugged, a new novel fictionalizing Ayn Rand's grandson.

I'd say "life imitates art", but Ayn Rand's novel is more like a political screed than art IMO.
