Reddit reviews BioShock: Rapture

Yep. Most people consider it canon too. Here's a link to it on Amazon

Atlas Shrugged was all about taking value out of the world, actually.

It's the world's longest and most pretentious adolescent temper tantrum.

It asks you to do what is best for you, but only in the short term. If you're creative, if you're ambitious, if you're someone who has ideas - well, why should you give up anything to the parasites around you, who contribute nothing? All that thinking you did wasn't compensated by the millions of dollars you earned. You still had to...ugh...put up with stupid people.

Like minimum wage employees. We can all agree that they should have just been self made millionaires by now, because supply and demand and cost are irrelevant if you just have enough testosterone in your sweat to make your dreams come true. (I think it attracts fairies.) If John Galt wanted a computer, he'd carve one out of flint and firewood. If John Galt wanted a car, he'd invent a time machine and tame a Mastadon. If John Galt wanted to sell those products to you, he'd wait for the market to beg, and then deliver each one to your doorstep with a mighty dropkick. How can you argue the real world doesn't work like this? Who wouldn't want to be John Galt?

And so all the heroes of capitalism leave society, to go play Bioshock: Farmville edition. Everyone else is too fucking stupid to do anything without them, so civilization collapses. Take THAT!

According to Ayn Rand, this is the best fucking thing ever. But, really, how could it be?

People, even rich people, even if they're stronger, smarter, and more creative than those around them, get old. People get sick. People are attacked. People are involved in accidents. And sometimes, people need help...

In Ayn Rand's utopia, who helps them?

If charity is seen as optional, then the costs of failure become so expensive that people will do anything to succeed. Corruption becomes an institution. Innovation, which is always a risk, stagnates.

Compare the America of the 60's, 70's, and 80's to that of the 1890's and 1930's, to see how Ayn Rand's philosophies play out in the real world. In the end, when she was no longer young and attractive enough to play well for the cameras, she too accepted a government check. Her life is a mirror opposite to that of JK Rowling, who used a government check to make herself self sufficient, after arguing that even wizards and witches must learn to live in peace with the muggles around them.

There's a book for that. It's not a great read, but it's got its moments.
