  • Audiobok Bioshock: Rapture. Part 2.
    Written By: John Shirley.
    Narrated By: Jeffrey Kafer.
    Genres: Science Fiction. Fantasy.
    Summary:
    It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing . . . and many were desperate to take that freedom back.Among them was a great dreamer, an immigrant who'd pulled himself from the depths of poverty to become one of the wealthiest and most admired men in the world. That man was Andrew Ryan, and he believed that great men and women deserved better. So he set out to create the impossible: a utopia free from government, from censorship, and from moral restrictions on science, where what you gave was what you got. He created Rapture-the shining city below the sea. But this utopia suffered a great tragedy. This is the story of how it all came to be . . . and how it all ended.

    I loved how this book showed how flawed Ryan’s Of free-regulation Rapture was long before the discovery of Adam, like the woman how had to resort prostitution when her boss fired her when she refused to have sex with her, the various companies just dumping waste in the ocean with no regulations that is starting to ruin the structure of Rapture itself, and the grocery store owners where one buys out the garbage collection companies to run his competitor out of business. Shows that Rapture and Ryan’s dream was already doomed from the start and Adam only accelerated things.

      Those things could've been fixed. Ultimately it wasn't Ryan's philosophies that destroyed Rapture. The biggest thing was inflexibility. Bill tried to get him to ease up a bit but he didn't listen. Ryan didn't even adhere to his own philosophy completely.

      @@Barrobroadcastmaster allowing price gouging & predatory business practices in a place where your stuck, no leaving & absolutely zero safety net for anyone for any reason? I’m a hardcore capitalist/constitutionalist & that’s pure folly especially with absolutely zero tolerance of religions that traditionally filled the rolls big daddy government has taken over today, then dump chems I can flash fry the entire family of the man who forced my children to starve? just more proof utopia means unobtainable, nothing is perfect but America is as good as it’s going to get.....

      ​@@Barrobroadcastmasterthe inflexibility was a huge part of Ryan's philosophies. It most definitely was the philosophy of rapture that was its downfall. Especially when you know that Rapture is inspired by Atlas Shrugged, and explores what happens if you continue that philosophy. The philophy of Rapture is meant to be the reason for its downfall by design.

      @@ZZ-bt2jr I firmly believe there's an undercurrent that it's more than just a critique of objectivism. There's a human aspect to it and that's more what causes the downfall than any simple flaw in the philosophy. The way Bill McDonaugh serves as Ryan's conscience, the way others offered and begged and pleaded with him to show an alternative, it wasn't just a critique of the philosophy. Andrew Ryan was a man, more than just an ideal. Both the man and the philosophy had their faults.

      That was intentional. To show micro-flaws in Ryan. The author is very well know for his research. If he has a mistake, it's there for a reason!
