====== The Fountainhead Filibuster: Tales from Objectivist Katanga ======

An odd but inspired Cold War timeline by [[offtopic:Linkwerk]], in which Ayn Rand and several of her followers try to found a utopia based on her Objectivist philosophy in the Katanga region of [[offtopic:Congo]] during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Lots of weird stuff happens... Read it [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=235733|here]] or use the chapter guide available below.
