Deep dive into Bioshock

This book isn't what you think. Its a deep dive into the philosophical questions Bioshock gives the player.
very interesting read but can easily go in one ear and out the other if you aren't paying attention.

Come for the Bioshock, stay for Alex's breathing

The subject matter and the breakdown of philosophy in this book are great, but (breathes in) the narrator constantly breathing in between sentences was pretty distracting.

It's great until chapter 5

So everything was going good, dude made some great points and actually made me take pause and think but then chapter 5 hit. I knew the moment the word "FeMiNiSt" slithered its way out of her mouth that it was gonna be bad. This goofy broad has obviously never played the game because every single point she was trying to make is very easily shot down if you know the source material which obviously she did not.
Too bad, it could have been great but as they say 'one bad apple spoils the bunch'.

The philosophy above and below

Well thought out and organized book talking about the deeper meanings behind the words, actions, characters, and settings of the Bioshock series. The book focuses on Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite with little mention of 2, which is a little disappointing, but totally understandable.

Good

Fairly good audiobook, interesting ideas are presented. Really makes you think about things in the present and future.

For anyone who wants to understand Bioshock

This book went beyond Rand's influence on the Bioshock series and touched on many forms of philosophy, government, and the charactere.
