The main character of 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand. A very popular (in the US) book that is somewhat controversial, mainly because a number of admirers take it all too seriously.

"Who is John Galt?" is expression of helplessness and despair in 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand. A very popular (in the US) book that is somewhat controversial, mainly because a number of admirers take it too seriously.

Ah, I did not know that. My knowledge of Ayn Rand's work is from secondary literature addressing Objectivism.
