Hey OP, for an awesome back story, Play bioshock 1 first, then get a hold of the book Bioshock: Rapture by John Shirleyhttps://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351










its an amazing 430 page book I just finished yesterday. It gives you an awesome back story to bioshock 1, and makes some references to Bioshock 2. But it has spoilers in it so play 1 first! Welcome to Rapture!

Definitely, after playing the whole series its nice to see it all come together as a whole! Don't worry I got you on the book info! Here's a actual link and what not : [Rapture the book] ( http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351 ) its fantastic book during the creation of rapture with all your favourite characters. You get to see alot of the universe in the book, also it uses alot of the dialogue that was used audio diaries within it. All of it is in written from Bill McDonagh's pov from the creation of rapture as a city to the fall of rapture as a city.

Tried reading the book?
It's pretty good if you're super into the lore, even if the writing isn't top notch. Ken Levine gave it his blessing...

In case anyone is interested, this is the cover to "Bioshock: Rapture" by John Shirley. Great book. Link: http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351

If you get a chance to read the rapture book they sort of talk about rapture when it was running. I would absolutely love to explore it

Giving a link to where to find it might help dude!

Also, can anyone recommend these two?

This one. It's only 30 pages.


Edit: Just wanted to add that it's still buyable but it was also a pre-order bonus for people who ordered the game through Amazon.

The book Bioshock : Rapture explains how Fontaine had established a good foundation in Rapture. His curt business tactics impressed Andrew (though A.R. didn't trust him very much) to which he gave Frank extended access throughout Rapture.

Just ordered it for $5.72 on Amazon with 2-day prime shipping! My wife absolutely loves both reading and bioshock, so I can't wait to see the look on her face when this arrives.

Woo! It's much cheaper than when I purchased it. I recommend it.

I bought these two posters to go next to each other on my wall. I absolutely love them.

I recommend for anyone who hasn't and is interesting in the early days of Rapture, to read the book. Here's the link.

I just read it about a month ago, and it was really good.

That's the "sample" booklet that came with the Collector's Edition of the game. It's a lot smaller and indeed has only 64 pages, with art that's taken from the bigger version.

That version is for sale at amazon for a reasonable price (I payed a lot more for mine :') )

It is explained. In the novella Mind In Revolt, Daisy mentions that some were convicts who had their sentences waived to work for Fink. Some had families to feed, and Fink promised a fair wage and housing for their families. Daisy also mentions how she's heard stories of minorities who were passed out drunk on the streets who were kidnapped to work for Fink. They weren't brought to Columbia like other citizens and were taken to Finkton in the middle of the night.

I enjoyed it.

If you're looking for a prequel, I'd suggest the recently published book Rapture. The action jumps around a bit beginning in the second third, but I found myself engrossed in the rise and fall of Andrew Ryan's world. Highly recommended.

Actually if you're interested there is a book that is suppose to pertain to leading up to rapture. How it was built and what not.

Check it out

For some steampunk/alt history fun, try the Clockwork Century books by Cherie Priest.


Start with Boneshaker

Edit: formatting

I bought the 'limited edition' hard back game guide just for this. Though, the book still does look nice and has some cool art in it.

In case you haven't bought anything yet, it's probably the cheapest way to get the key chain. Link!

You can get a similar poster cheaper at amazon You can even get it with an Ez hang frame.

• Black and White tiles like the medical pavilion.
  
  
• Ads/Propaganda from Rapture
  
  
• Maybe some NECA Bioshock Figures + Bunny mask hanging somewhere
  
  Otherwise i'd just got for a general Art Deco look. Black with bronze/gold highlights.
  
  

It's very well done, and follows the novelization very closely.

There's an official novel:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rapture-Bioshock-John-Shirley/dp/1848567049

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

If you're talking about this offer on Amazon don't worry. It is not region locked. I myself have bought it from Lithuania and redeemed it on Steam easily without any VPNs.

I just realized it's not about region but a censorship. That one I cannot guarantee that it will work... But if you never try you'll never know. The price is also very small I guess.
