Rapture (the city) for real

Imagine living on a serene, man-made floating city where you can live and work with other like-minded individuals from all over the globe, without direct influence from any government entity. If Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel has his way, that wild idea may be just a few years away. The wealthy venture capitalist is putting his money behind Blueseed, a company that promises to create an offshore luxury barge where young entrepreneurs can work, live, and socialize, all without the constraints of a modern city — or pesky immigration laws.

Yup, definitely sounds very Bioshock-y to me.

I approve of this idea.

It's a bad idea. Potentially able to all be destroyed by the weather.

That's what the sea is for, silly. Do you not get the point of the title of the thread?

Andrew Ryan approves this idea.

Imagine pirates came to overrun the city. :p

As I read I thought it would have some nice defense artillery, the more you think about this idea the better it gets. :D

It's only rapture if everyone goes insane and starts killing each other.

I can see this going awry unless they make their own law, police, national security, etc. I also don't think they can survive without partaking in international economy so in the end they'll be subject to pretty much the same things as any other country.

If I lived there, I'd be constantly asking people if they would kindly do ___ for me. Also killing puppies. For science.

Already been done if I'm not mistaken, or it's in the process at least.

Not a new idea.

Remember how Rapture got established in the first place? With a boat.

It's only the beginning.
