The past 4 years seem to have been taken from the plot of the movie, Ed Morrisey says that,

 ...this film wouldn’t have resonated nearly as well three years ago, or ten years ago, or perhaps not any time in the 54 years since Rand published the novel. The sense of crisis in the movie would have seemed too far from the experience of most Americans; likewise, the sense of aggressive, populist redistributionism would have looked hyperbolic and contrived. If this isn’t the perfect moment for this film, then it’s as close as I’d like to see it in my lifetime.

I haven't read the book in more than 30 years.  But more and more, I think that we are nearly in sinc with the plot of the novel.  That appalls me in ways that are indescribable.
