FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing . . . and many were desperate to take that freedom back. Among them was a great dreamer, an immigrant who'd pulled himself from the depths of poverty to become one of the wealthiest and most admired men in the world. That man was Andrew Ryan, and he believed that great men and women deserved better. So he set out to create the impossible, a utopia free from government, from censorship, and from moral restrictions on science, where what you gave was what you got. He created Rapture - the shining city below the sea. But this utopia suffered a great tragedy. This is the story of how it all came to be . . . and how it all ended. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Utopias $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1945-1953 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Kafer, Jeffrey. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11372900 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781452628301_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E610D3AA18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
