Ayn Rand’s – ATLAS Shrugged

1K collaborated with Penguin Books and the Ayn Rand Institute to create the Atlas Shrugged Amplified Edition for iPad. Just as it did 50 years ago, Atlas Shrugged continues to inspire, galvanize, enflame and energize the intellectual battle between right and left that defines western political discourse. If we’ve done our job correctly, a new generation of readers will use the App to discover, explore, discuss, share, cheer – or protest – and ultimately decide where they stand on Ms. Rand’s radically influential ideas. Here’s more about it from the Penguin site:

While immersed in the app, readers also have the option to share favorite passages and quotes from the novel on Facebook, Twitter, and via email with a few quick taps—and without ever leaving the page.
