Hear me out. I just finished reading Atlas Shrugged, which is pretty much fiction that all glorifies Objectivism (Ayn Rand's philosophy that really only applies to economics but she applies it to literally every aspect of life which is a terrible idea unless you are a hardcore secular. Like, über hardcore). It has been the bible for some and trash for others, but something clicked to me while I was trudging thorough Galt's speech (this is where Rand shows that she is absolutely full of herself. It's 60 pages of Rand shoving objectivism down your throat. Seriously, 60 ). Galt is talking all about how man is entitled to everything he makes. Then my head clicks back to Bioshock and Andrew Ryan, who creates Rapture to have mankind free (I would put quotations around free, but I don't want to piss off too many Objectivism philosophers) and does not have any limitations or laws regarding moral and economic standards of government. Then I realize that Andrew Ryan is spelled with a lot of letters in Ayn Rand, and starts with the same letter. Then it clicks that Frank Fontain's alias is [i]Atlas[/i]. Seeing the similarities? Although this is a big conclusion and I may not be completely right, I think that Bioshock was created to show how Atlas Shrugged goes wrong in its themes and morals of life. For example, Rapture's greatest achievement (ADAM and plasmids) ends up destroying Rapture itself because it slowly destroys the mind and body, and Bioshock shows that mankind without any regards in its pure form can turn bad. It also regards that absolutely no religion or ethics in society is not as good as it sounds, portraying Rapture as a den of sex, extreme measures of beauty and physical augmenting, etc. So fear not people. The debate of is Objectivism a good or bad thing might be answered in a [u]video game[/u]. People say that video games are just entertainment, but it can really put complicated topics into perspective.
