Hey /lit/

"Glenn Beck today announced he will write the Bioshock 2 novel, following the release of John Shirley's take on the best-selling game. Beck said he drew much of the inspiration for his written work from Atlas Shrugged and Ayn Rand's other works and so looked forward to writting about a game many consider to be a modern re-hash of Rand's classic novel."

Thoughts, /lit/? I'm not sure how well he would do, being honest.

I don't know about you guys, but this is great news to me. I really admire Ayn Rand, I think her writing style is better than any other author but Glenn Beck's thriller was masterfully crafted and possibly the best book of the century so far and is a fitting tribute to Ayn Rand's works.
I don't really know what Bioshack is but I'm sure it'll make for a very interesting novel with Glenn Beck behind it.

>> No.1058400

Ayn Rands philosophy does not account for that some people shouldn't make their own decisions like some minorities have demonstrably lower iq and spatial skils. so Ayn Rands theory of self determination is logically flawed.

Objectivists, and libertarians in general, I pose one question:

We already HAD an entirely laissez-faire industrial complex; it was called late-18th-century Britain, and it was a shithole. What would make a "Randian" society any different?

That makes even less sense. What part of global imperialism is libertarian? Also, it wasn't a shithole. Life before WWI was pretty fucking sweet. It's not named the Belle Epoque for nothing.

No, I'm talking about the working class, the 80-90% of the population that were essentially anonymous to history due to the injustices of early Capitalism

Its not very good trolling. OP didn't make any fake news stories to back up his claim. But it doesn't matter Rand was invoked which means /lit/ goes into full retard mode.

I always thought the themes behind bioshock were staunchly anti-randian.

Isn't the story of Bioshock the story of what happened to all the free intelligentsia once they abandoned civilisation?
