One of the appeals of 2K Games’ “BioShock” videogame is a complex storyline, which was influenced by Ayn Rand novels like “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead.” In “Atlas Shrugged,” Rand writes about a dystopian world where innovators like business leaders and artists go on an organized strike and disappear to protest an oppressive society. Similarly, BioShock is about Rapture, a fictional underworld city that was designed in 1946 as a utopia for the intellectual elite, who fled an oppressed society above land, only to see Rapture also break down.
