《十一种孤独》以冷峻的笔触描写了美国二战后五六十年代普通纽约人的生活，写了十一种孤独的人生，主人公都是缺乏安全感、生活不太如意的人：曼哈顿办公楼里被炒的白领、有着杰出想象力的出租车司机、屡屡遭挫、一心想成为作家的年轻人、即将结婚十分迷茫的男女、古怪的老教师、新转学的小学生、肺结核病人、老病号的妻子、爵士钢琴手、郁郁不得志的军官、退役军人等。耶茨笔下都是普通人的普通生活，描写的是普通人的孤独、失落与绝望，他自己曾说：“如果我的作品有什么主题的话，我想只有简单一个：人都是孤独的，没有人逃脱得了，这就是他们的悲剧所在。”

1957年，《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》首次由兰登书屋出版。据说，这部小说当时已被12家出版社退稿，出版以后，恶评如潮但畅销无比，对美国大众的影响仅次于《圣经》，作者也因该书几乎激怒了整个成人世界：父亲、母亲、左派知识分子、自由主义者和保守主义者。他们贬低她：“只有十几岁的青少年醉心于她的学说。”咒骂她：“她患上癌症完全是她在哲学上和精神上犯错的结果。”在政治上，兰德是一个失败者，自由主义者不喜欢她摆出的自我为中心的姿态；保守派不喜欢她的无神论；双方同时都反对她的个人主义。 然而，与青年马克思一样，兰德也是“不怕闪电、不怕霹雳、不怕天空中的惊雷”——或许，安·兰德是美国文学史上最具争议的作家之一，她提倡自私的美德，公开为资本家辩护，而且毫不掩饰她对庞大政府的憎恶。《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》在美国的销售已达千万，被称为“自私圣经”——在书中，与《资本论》对资本的批判一样，她对空想社会主义进行了批驳：在20世纪发动机公司，实行了各尽所能、按需分配的制度，开始人们都欢欣鼓舞，觉得这样就可以人尽其才物尽其用，结果能干的人工作越来越多，懒惰的人的需求越来越多，工厂很快就倒闭了。看来，在对人性的缺点没有充分的了解时，在财富还没有达到无限充裕的时候，空想社会主义的乌托邦显然会给社会带来灾难。 在《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》中，兰德试图解决这个矛盾，在她看来，财富是人类思想力的结晶，妨碍竞争、扼杀创意、执意维护既得垄断利益的资本家是可耻的；而通过自己的创造性劳动赚取的金钱则值得尊重。 作为一部乌托邦小说，《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》描绘了一个由自私而精明的商人、科学家、艺术家等社会精英组成的世外桃源，有着田园诗般的诗意和现实社会中的欲望的满足。在这里，维系着一切的不是道德而是金钱，金钱被视作为崇拜的偶像，是自由交换和公平正义的象征，每个人都是独立的创造者和思考者。小说结尾，由于强者罢工、抛弃了弱者，世界陷入了无边的黑暗，而乌托邦里则是一片和谐幸福。同时，兰德借书中主人公约翰·高尔特之口来说明了她的客观主义哲学： 财富观——财富是人类生活的一种工具，是人类思想力的结晶。当你判断某人德性的时候，请听他对金钱的理解：诅咒金钱的人通过不正当的手段获取金钱，尊敬金钱的人则依自己的本事赚取金钱。金钱是社会美德的气压计，远离告诉你钱是万恶之源的人。 历史观——文明就是一个逐步将个人解放出来的过程。人天生便会思考，让那些叫嚣说人的思想自由在创建工业文明后便毫无用处的吃人者从大学的经济系主任的位置上退下来，让他们拿起弓箭，穿起兽皮。每个独裁者都是神秘论者，每个神秘论者都是潜在的独裁者。 道德观——你生命中的道德的唯一目的是去获得幸福，让自己得到快乐便是他的最高道德目标。“牺牲”就是为了你并不在乎的东西而放弃你所看重的。人的生命是道德的标准，在生命里，快乐是成功的状态，痛苦则通向死亡。正如你不能对大自然进行伪装一样，你同样也不能对人的品格进行假造。武力与头脑是截然对立的；枪声一响，道德无存。 价值观——人类是真正的英雄：以自己的幸福作为生活的道德准则，以实质性的成就作为最高贵的行动，以理性为自己唯一的主宰。人不应该为他人而活，也不应该要求他人为自己而活。思考是人的唯一最根本的美德，其它的一切皆因它而生。自豪就是承认你是自己的最高价值，这和一个人所有的价值一样，需要去赢得。 哲学观——Ａ就是Ａ，一个东西就是它本身。存在是特性，意识是鉴明。存在是存在着的。每个问题都有两面，一面是正确，一面是错误，夹在对与错中间的则是邪恶。 2006年，好莱坞明星安吉妮亚·朱莉爆出希望出演即将拍摄的影片《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》（atlas shrugged），并自称是安·兰德（Ayn Rand，1905-1982）的粉丝，还希望男友布莱恩·匹特出演男主角，顿时吸引了不少眼球，也使得这部在半个世纪前出版的小说又一次回到了公众的视线之中，2007年，这条消息已经得到证实，影片《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》最后确定的男、女主角为布莱恩·匹特、安吉妮亚·朱莉。 对于所有发现了《源泉》，并且就进一步扩展它的思想向我提出许多问题的读者们，我想说，我是在这部小说中对这些问题做出回答，《源泉》只是《耸肩的阿特拉斯神》的序曲而已。 —— 安· 兰德
