Nope.
Ayn Rand makes me want to call Sargeant Beatty to douse some petrol.
It depicts a "socialist" dystopia turning into the ideal libertarian dystopia. Not only does it fail the philosiphical sniff test, its just a bad novel with poor pacing. The climax is a character giving a long ~60 page(??? Read it a long time ago) speech that deflates whatever momentum the story had.
