Who is John Galt?

I was drawn to this from Warren Ellis. Now, this isn't about the fact that John Galt Inc. (the company doing demolition work for the city at 130 Liberty St.) is actually a rolling front currently being used by a company that was fired from doing work at... 130 Liberty St. No, this is to point out that the company is called John Galt. That implicitly requires the question to be raised: Who is John Galt? There's also a curious Ayn Rand connection with the new game Bioshock. the character that the player controls is named Andrew Ryan (nearly an anagram of Ayn Rand) in a city inspired by the works of Ayn Rand. Do you know what this means? 9/11 was nothing but a giant publicity stunt and ARG for Bioshock. I'm not calling 2K Games terrorists. I'm just saying that someone has just out done JJ Abrams at his own game. I think it's genius. It did just what an ARG is supposed to do. It drew in a large audience, crossed many forms of media and and kept people interested, invested and constantly on their toes. Now, if 2K Games could just fix the economy, undo Bush's second term, put the constitution back and repair the USA's standing in the international community (which includes the whole Iraq debacle) then I think we'll be fine. Good job guys. Now please clean up.
