“Going Galt” is a nice phrase.

John Galt was an uber-competent scientist and inventor. What do *you* have to offer.
Have you "gone Galt?"

If you dig that book try out A Lodging for Wayfaring Men. It is in the tradition of the cyberpunks. Atlas Shrugged + cyberpunks = ALFWM. You can find an audio podcast with it by @Max called Parallel Society that I thoroughly enjoyed!!
Yes! I'm very happy that you're shilling the book now too! I agree it's the Atlas Shrugged for Cypheprunks. What did you like about the book?
