The hardback of Atlas Shrugged was then ranked 62,059, the Kindle edition at 976 and the paperback at 416. My experiment was conducted on 20 January 2013. The Rand novel was published in 1957 and it apparently has a devoted readership eager to believe in the free mind solving all problems. I thought I would compare Dianetics with Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Amazon ranks books according to their current sales. But then you have to reckon with more objective external estimates that the membership might be just 50,000, while one assumes that the book sales are inflated by deliberate bulk-buying by church members. That sounds possible, if you credit the church's claim that it has 8 million members. According to Bridge Publications, itself an arm of the Church of Scientology, at least 80 million copies have been sold.
L afayette Ronald Hubbard published Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in 1950.
