Atlas Sulks

by W.W. Munk

Atlas Sulks addresses the vital issue of the privatization of the Commons. In this case the Commons are the airwaves which belong to the American People. Satire is the method and the devices are right wing Talk Radio and Ayn Randian philosophy. These elements, coupled with wry humor comment on how self entitled individuals, if they are not prevented from doing so, can take the nation’s resources…the People’s treasures…as their own possessions in order to reap unaccountable wealth, and amass even more power.

Got this book from Goodreads Giveaway.

The reader does not need to read the inspiration Atlas Shrugs just to read this. The content of this book is very much the same - each event highlights greed and dishonesty. However, I found myself unable to connect to any character, making this a long and slow read.

Great humor! Munk clearly has a handle on Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and how politics (intra- company and global)affect perceptions. The reader doesn't need to read "Atlas Shrugged" to enjoy this satire but those who have, may get more understanding of the extent of the satire and brilliance of Atlas Sulks.

I am sulking after reading "Atlas Sulks". Yes, there are timely events in the story, which highlights greed, dishonesty, self-absorption, and not one character that I came to care about. Not one. None.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.
