The Philosophy of Bioshock [Ayn Rand, Rapture, Plasmids, Civil War]

This presentation on the Philosophy of Bioshock draws heavily from the lore & book "Bioshock: Rapture", as well as the original game released in 2007. It features the life of Andrew Ryan, Rapture’s backstory, the many challenges that the inhabitants of Rapture faced, and how Rapture's downfall also mirrors our own turbulent times.

Bioshock was inspired from the works and the life of Ayn Rand - depicting the glory of heroism, the triumph of the individual and the success of capitalism - which is all set against the historic backdrop of early Russian and American society.
