I don't understand what you are saying but I want to.

Care to tell me what is the message of atlas shruggs and the jungle are?

Atlas Shrugged is the conservative wet dream of "what if the rich people that totally do all the work and hold everything together got tired of the poors being so whiny and ungrateful and stopped." It's an-cap fan fiction.

you missed out the part where they go to live inside a holographic volcano and pay each other with gold - which of course is useless inside a volcano but the book glosses over that

The Jungle was a book exposing the nightmares of the industrial revolution, especially in the meat packing industry.
