BioShock  |Atlas Shrugged  |The Fountainhead  | Levine isn’t interested in taking sides. He wants to give his characters, and the philosophies he picks on a more thorough interrogation: [....] “If you go and look at Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead, Rand can populate her books with these kinds of superheroes of her ideals, who can carry out her ideals to their extremes and never stumble. They’re very convenient for her but they’re not human beings. I try to make these games a more honest look at utopian ideals, but also, they have some commentary on the weakness of games themselves, particularly the illusion of free will in games. So I try to light my house on fire a bit, too.”      View blog reactions
