   Ayn Rand's stories are generally set in the near or distant future of   
   her time, or set in a parallel future, alternate history, story   
   frequently depends on an imaginary technological innovation.  Sure   
   sounds like Science Fiction to me.  Her heroes are commonly science   
   fictional in exactly the same way as Tony Stark is science fictional.
