One thing that surprised me about the book is that Ayn Rand knew about the existence of shale oil.

When I first read the book, I’d never heard of shale oil and thought it was a literary device so Ms. Rand could create another strong willed industrialist. It wasn’t until a few years after I read the book that shale oil became news.

So, I suggest that Ms. Rand did her research and knew what she was talking about.

And the chicken tastes better.
