I read Anthem back in high school but I remember approximately nothing about it. Am I wrong in the memory that it's like "The Island", that joke of a Michael Bay film? It wasn't bad though, I recall that impression. SuicideFlip, I think you have the right idea. The Fountainhead is probably (from what I hear) the best place to start. I'm actually really nervous to read Atlas Shrugged without reading that one.
I know, I know... reading! I guess this only reaches out to a small(er) group of game players. But still, I can't be the only one who, after playing the game, wanted to see more about the main inspiration. That being Ayn Rand and her books. A friend and I are currently pushing each other to read Atlas Shrugged right now. Any interest at all in The Fountainhead, Anthem, or Atlas Shrugged? What about Orwell, which is certainly less taxing?
