I’ve been meaning to read that before I play through Bioshock for the 2nd time since much of Rapture, Ryan’s underwater utopia in the game, was based around Objectivism.

I knew Bioshock was going to be a lot deeper in story than most games when the demo had Ryan explaining Rapture with this:

> Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?  
> No says the man in Washington, it belongs to the poor.  
> No says the man in the Vatican, it belongs to God.  
> No says the man in Moscow, it belongs to everyone.
