The Selfish Gene is one of the most influential texts of the past century. Conceived by Richard Dawkins, the book changed the way we view evolution by describing life from a small chromosomes, big picture perspective.

The Fountainhead is a book that can be read as the awkwardly written odyssey of architect Howard Roark. Or it can be seen as the foundational text of objectivism and the libertarian movement. I choose to approach it through the lens of Howard Roark’s creative independence and conviction. He sticks to his guns. He is loyal and true to himself. His vision is paramount, regardless of the consequences.
