There's An App For That

Wanna Shrug (it's capitalized because it is important) and Twitter at the same time? There's an app for that! Looking to annoy your Facebook "friends" with Ayn Rand quotes while watching videos of her talks? There's an app for that! Need to play Wesley Mouch Said WHAT? with your kids on your next train trip? There's an app for that!

New American Library is proud (maybe?) to announce the Amplified Edition of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. It's like a book, but since it's for your iPad it has a bunch of other garbage thrown in for free! (Not really, since the Amplified Edition is two bucks more than the regular e-book. "There's no free in Objectivism!" - Tom Hanks.)

Amplification materials include:

• Full length audio lectures, including a Q&A on Objectivism, an outline of its basic principles, and commentary on the state of business and government
  
  
• Illustrated, revealing timeline of the author's life and major works, including personal documents, letters, and correspondence
  
  
• Photo gallery of early images of the author at work
  
  
• Endorsements and testimonials from celebrities and business leaders on the enduring power and influence of Atlas Shrugged

Neat! So get yours today. Because books are dead.
