And for casting, I’d have loved to have seen Daniel Day Lewis chosen to play Andrew Ryan, an outstanding actor who I could easily picture taking on the role of Ryan. I always wanted to see a Bioshock movie made, I really think that given the source material and in the right directorial hands that it could have been truly great. On a side note, this isn’t part of the 200 Words or Less bit of the post, just a random musing. Great characters, an interesting setting and a sociological/psychological aspect create a top read that makes you question society and the morality of people. You don’t need to have played the games to enjoy this. The book creates an incredible atmosphere. The book details how Rapture was built, how Ryan kept it a secret and the scientific discovery of ADAM and its usage in the creation of plasmids, causing genetic modification and mutation to Rapture’s population, helping the degradation and downfall of Rapture’s society. He’s an idealist, believing the world should be free from censorship, religion and government, Rapture is to be his utopia. Rapture is an under water city built by Andrew Ryan in the wake of WW II as a paradise, away from the greed, corruption and war of the world above. and how it all ended.īioshock is one of my favourite computer games, a great setting, story, characters and the audio diaries found within chronicling Rapture’s demise are some of the best writing you will find in gaming, non-gamers please don’t scoff, Ryan, Fontaine, Lamb and Tenenbaum are amazing characters and the audio diaries would grace any book.īioshock Rapture, is a prequel taking us up to the demise of Rapture. This is the story of how it all came to be. He created Rapture-the shining city below the sea.īut as we all know, this utopia suffered a great tragedy. 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. That man is Andrew Ryan, and he believed that great men and women deserve better. and many are desperate to take that freedom back.Īmong 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. America’s sense of freedom is diminishing. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business has many watching their backs.
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has brought a fear of total annihilation. FDR’s New Deal has redefined American politics. We all have them, books that we read and loved or even read and hated before we decided to start blogging and what better way than a quick fire review of 200 words or less to share your thoughts on them. Welcome to 200 Words or Less, a weekly Friday feature here on The Tattooed Book Geek where I will bring to you reviews/thoughts of 200 words or less from the books I read before I started blogging.
