When I think of Orwell I group him together with Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit_451) and Ayn Rand (Cloud Atlas)

Great ideas, great concept, definitely food for thought - but painful to read.

Narrative is a different art.

Cloud Atlas is David Mitchell.

I suspect you mean Atlas Shrugged.

(And now I've got Tom Hanks as Hank Reardon in my head. Didn't see that coming.)

Indeed, I meant Atlas Shrugged, thanks for the correction!
