Rapture

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.

  • "Había terminado la segunda guerra mundial. La política del New Deal de Roosevelt había cambiado los Estados Unidos: los impuestos eran muy altos, y las bombas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki auguraban una aniquilación total. La libertad estaba en crisis, y muchos no se resignaron a perderla. Entre ellos, un soñador, un inmigrante que salió de la más profunda pobreza y se convirtió en una de las personas más ricas y admiradas del mundo; Andrew Ryan. Él pensaba que los hombres y mujeres más importantes merecían algo mejor, y por eso decidió crear una utopía libre de gobiernos, de censura, de restricciones morales para la ciencia, donde se da lo mismo que recibes. Creó Rapture, la brillante ciudad bajo el mar. Pero esta utopía acabó en una gran tragedia."
