Respectfully, it's horrible writing. Literally no redeeming quality. The fact that it places people into cliche archetypes and misrepresents everything about them is the exact problem with the book.

If you see those archetypes around you then you seriously need to learn some empathy which Rand clearly lacked. Let me sum up the book: "There are people who are so smart, if they left the world would collapse and everyone will die. Let's do that."

The ego of thinking that the whole world depends on you and your big brain is something a lot of people in tech need to grow out of. It's toxic and so is Rand.
