The Rise and Fall of John Galt III
Dave: In my novel, John Galt I is a little bit the way he was in the way in Rand's model. He claims to be able to harness static electricity to create a limited source of clean energy. And his son John Galt II becomes a social media giant. So there's quite a bit of Star Wars in there, the virtuous son, the rebellion against the evil father. But only in a kind of a gentle way and in a way that is not so black and white.
