John Shirley: Bioshock: Rapture

Bioshock: Rapture


Description

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. "

The whole, written in a musical style not far removed from that of Couperin, whose piano composition "Les Ombres" errantes lends the book its title, coheres into a work of literature that reverberates in the psyche long after one Bioshock: Rapture free ebook has laid it down. "The Roving Shadows" is a rare and wondrous tour de force that cements Quignard's reputation in contemporary world literature. Available now for the first time in English, this boldly adventurous work will find a new and welcoming audience. The most prophetic voice of all. " GQ" From the "New York Times" bestselling author Robert D. Kaplan, named one of the world s Top 100 Global Thinkers by "Foreign Policy" magazine, comes a riveting journey through one of Europe s frontier countries and a potent examination of the forces that will determine Europe s fate in the postmodern age.
