  • Audiobok Bioshock: Rapture. Part 1.
    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.

      This audiobook would be totally fine if it wasn't for the background. Noise, because every 6 seconds there's a squeak, and when you're sitting here trying to listen to it quietly, all you can hear is that squeak? That's insane, take out the background noise and just read the book

    A preference for this novel over Atlas Shrugged might be derived from the stylized writing. This novel builds the world, with tropes and cliches of the 30s-50s, whereas Atlas Shrugged was written without that need, as it was set in modern times (for the period). Atlas Shrugged was also written to convey a message of rational self interest and individualism and was heroic in its world view, whereas this novel is written to follow the story of Bioshock, which was written as "what if the main character isn't rational" and is pessimistic in ots world view. Atlas Shrugged promotes that mankind is heroic by nature, and illustrates how a willful refusal of rational thinking is destructive. This novel (and bioshock in general) conveys that when mankind is free to invent and create, his default nature is destructive and sadistic, and he creates a society that is hopeless and unable. The premise of this novel is possible because Andrew Ryan is not rational.

      Or maybe because objectivism with no social safety net for the poor always results in a violent revolution. Rand believes that the rich would set up charities of their own fruition but history has shown us unless there a tax incentive that never happens. Someone had to be poor, someone has to run the bottom rung of industry, and if these people don’t have social programs to alleviate their condition they revolt. Every time. It’s not that people prefer this to Atlas Shrugged, people hate it 😂😂

    A small PSA. I'm a huge fan of the games, and I found part 1 kinda boring, a lot of backstory, setup and talk about characters I didn't care about. I'm halfway through part 2 and it's gotten MUCH better. That's when you finally get to explore a built rapture that you "know", and get introduced to many major characters from the games. So if you're considering dropping this like I did, give part 2 a try. If you like the games, that's when it gets familiar and interesting.

      Different strokes for different folks. I personally enjoy backstory. Things leading up to the familiar apsepcts of Bioshock is wonderful because I don't like just jumping into the nitty gritty quickly, I like a gradual approach. That's just me tho
