Representaion During Books BioShock: Rapture

It's the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal has redefined American politics. Taxes are at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has brought a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business has many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom is diminishing . . . and many are desperate to take that freedom back.

Among them is a great dreamer, an immigrant who pulled himself from the depths of poverty to become one of the wealthiest and admired men in the world. That man is Andrew Ryan, and he believed that great men and women deserve better. And so he set out to create the impossible, a utopia free from government, censorship, and moral restrictions on science--where what you give is what you get. He created Rapture---the shining city below the sea.

But as we all know, this utopia suffered a great tragedy. This is the story of how it all came to be . . .and how it all ended.

Article Of Books BioShock: Rapture

This was a painfully dull read. I didnt really register that Bioshock kinda has the prequel built in to the game world while youre playing it. Meaning I just read 500 odd pages of wooden prose explaining what preceded the game. Including all the stuff thats in the in-game audio diaries already, along with a bunch of tedious shit of little to no consequence. Dude mustve been getting paid by the word for this one. It reminds me that I need to put the brakes on my own curiosity sometimes. I mean, I

This is the single best video game inspired piece of literature I've ever read. It stays incredibly true to both games (striding to connect them in ways the games were unable to do) and flushing out much of the world and answering many things I wondered about from the game. I always wondered why the splicers faces looked so messed up and this book gave a great answer to that, Perhaps that answer was in the game, but if it was, I missed it. It also really flushed out the character of Andrew Ryan.

I did not care for this book, not because of the writing style, or any grudge against the author, but because of the book itself. I am a fan of the Bioshock game series, and the most intriguing and captivating part of the game to me was how the storyline enveloped me to the point where I was a character, as such I did not know everything about Rapture, or the situation as it stands and I was forced to piece it together as I went along. This book really takes all that hard work and sets itself

"A man chooses, a slave obeys!" Well, I guess when Andrew Ryan faces off with "Jack" this isn't the first time he utters those words. I can see why this novel received mixed reviews, but to be honest, I rather enjoyed it. What's been done here is John Shirley has taken all the audio and diary's and pieced them all together into one cohesive story. With of course, a lot more detail and insight into the time period and the minds of the characters. I especially enjoyed the further character

This book surprised me by being better than I expected. Of course, I didn't have high expectations for it when I got it, so it wasn't too hard exceed them. In a nutshell, this is the story behind the backstory for the video game BioShock. The book, however, stands on its own as a dystopian novel with a science fiction bent. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the book, however if you are not familiar with the game then you may be disappointed that the ending did not tie up many loose

Competently produced prequel book offers nothing new to the Bioshock mythos except an inexplicable cockney voice. A character featured in a few audio journals (which the book attempts to explain the prevalence of, but never quite pulls off) is thrust to the fore as our man on the ground and Shirley vaguely shows what it was like to live in Rapture from its inception to the time that it went irrevocably to hell.While the plotting is competent, it's all really an entrée to the events of the games;

I have only watched gameplays of the game and never played it myself but reading this makes me want to play it even more than I already did. 10/10. And thank God I watched the gameplay first or the end of this book would have been a MASSIVE SPOILER for the first game's ending. The pacing is impeccable for such a short book; the events are not rushed; the characters are all sick and crazy and amazing and DISTINCT. I love the background that shows the inception of the idea of Rapture. I love this
