I'd recommend starting with the novella Anthem. It's a quick introduction to the philosophy of Ayn Rand, kown as objectivism, which is present in many of Peart's lyrics and themes. Plus, the storyline in 2112 was based off Anthem.
@IRONxxxMAIDEN 44 don't forget The Trees. The idea expressed with "now the trees are all kept equal, by hatchet, axe and saw" truly sums up the Socialist/Collectivist ideal. We cannot allow the successful to grow tall so all must be restricted to the level of the lowest achiever. Bring us all down to the lowest level so "we are all equal" in failure and despair
