Summary: Dagny’s Comet is heading to Colorado, contemplating the slave labor she has taken part in, when she finds a stowaway tramp (aka, Jeff Allen). Jeff Allen tells Dagny about the 20th Century Motor Company, and the disaster that socialism was. After another nap, she woke up to a ghost train, and goes off with Owen Kellogg to get help. Dagny discusses societal issues with Kellogg, and then finds a plane. She flies after Daniels, but loses control and prepares for a belly-landing.

Start by reading the first-tier comments, which are all quotes of Ayn Rand (some of my favorites, some just important for other reasons). Comment on your favorite ones, or others' comments. Don't see your favorite quote? Post it in a new comment. Please reserve new comments for Ayn Rand, and your non-Rand quotes for "replies" to the quotes or discussion. (Otherwise Rand's quotes will get crowded out and pushed down into oblivion. You can help avoid this by "voting up" the Rand quotes, or at least the ones you especially like, and voting down first-tier comments that are not quotes of the featured book.)

Atlas Shrugged was written by Ayn Rand in 1957.
