  1. you are seriously off your rocker. get some psychiatric help.
  2. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
  3. A little bit of Rand, Heinlein, and V for Vendetta. Of course, the books that REALLY cover it all aren't novels - they are "The Communist Manifesto," where it describes how liberals and fake "socialists" try to defend a declining capitalism, and Lenin's "Imperialism: the highest stage of Capitalism."
  4. 1984 and Atlas Shrugged were mandatory policy reading sources in the Bush administration.
  5. Right now it is more like 1984.But that will change and things will evolve into rebellion.Personally,I can't wait until we get to the Heinlein phase of The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress,or even better,Revolt In 2100.
  6. I would say that elements of all those novels are present in today's society.
