The game is a critique of the philosophy of objectivism. You go into that world right as it's crumbling. I was reminded of barshark when recently i spent some time with the great prolific siberpunk journalist, douglas roshkoff. He revealed something absolutely astonishing to me, that there are quite a few billionaire preppers who were actually trying to do things like this. And these are such well and i'm just like thinking, my god, these are the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world,. yet they seem a r to believe that the event is an inevitability over which they have absolutely no control.
