Part III begins. The section is called “A Is A” and we are finally inside the hidden valley. After twenty chapters of watching the world fall apart, we get to see what the people who left have been building instead. Honestly, it reads like a startup pitch deck written by someone who really, really believes in it.
Waking Up in Another World
Dagny crashed her plane chasing the mystery man’s aircraft into the mountains. She wakes up in a green valley, sunlight on her face, looking up at a stranger. Rand spends a long paragraph describing this man’s face and body in almost absurd detail. Metal-green eyes, aluminum-copper skin, hair like liquid gold. Most over-the-top character introduction in the entire book.
