It's like, a metaphor man. A work of fiction. Not to be taken literally, yet conveys themes and ideas which can become a short hand for conveying these ideas. Tons of folks read Atlas Shrugged and thought "hey this is how the world actually is" too. Or worse, The Fountainhead. Shudder.

Sometimes, books which claim to be real like “night” by Elie Wiesel are full of bullshit/lies/fraud too!

His book sowed the seeds for holocaust denialism in GenZ.
