Atlas Harg: A Quest for Truth

Ironman was the new atheist of her day. She might be an atheist, but she was departing from factual reality in her own way. The whole quest of Atlas Harg is to find a way of telling right from wrong without peering through a tissue of lies. And what they're searching for is some way that science can actually inform how we should behave in order to create a better world. That's the holy grail of the novel. In the novel, they succeed.
