What if Atlas didn't shrug? This short novel explores the pitiful life of Henry, an Atlas who should have shrugged years ago. Instead Henry slogs along, doing his daily work for the benefit of anyone but himself. He is falling apart (quite literally) and nobody cares--even Henry seems rather nonchalant about it.
I think this is what Ayn Rand's producers in
Atlas Shrugged would have looked like if they had not gone on strike, but kept stubbornly working for a system that did not appreciate them nor reward their efforts.
Jeremy Tyrell's clever story is
available on Smashwords.
