yeah, but do we really need a 1000+ page book to learn that absolute power corrupts absolutely?
Maybe not, but it might help reach people that like 1950's dieselpunk.
Edit: On a side note, it might inspire people to pack billionaires into a modern version of Galt's Gulch/Mulligan's Valley, isolated from the rest of the world and arriving with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They can rebuild civilization with only the natural resources on hand. I totally agree with Rand that it might solve a lot of socioeconomic problems, but we'd differ on the "why."
