The architect of ego builds his empire brick by brick — and burns down anything that dares to block his view. Rand’s ode to individual genius is seductive, sterile, and deeply revealing of America’s obsession with the “self-made” hero. It’s the origin myth of the modern narcissist — required reading for anyone studying the architecture of unchecked ambition.
