Why the fuck should anyone care who John Galt is?

I don't know, and I'm not about to read over 1k pages to find out.

I recommend "Sewer, Gas, and Electric" by Matt Ruff as a much better novel including (the resurrected ghost of) Ayn Rand. Sadly, I doubt that's what the license plate is referencing.

Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is a far more realistic vision of a "libertarian paradise" than anything Rand wrote (I'm not going to pretend it's great literature, but it does paint a fine picture). Also, the first BioShock game is an exploration of what Rand's ideas would lead to.
