Why has humanity still not managed to create an ideal society where every person would be happy? Whenever romantics propose to build a new utopia, something always prevents them from fully realizing it. But what is the main problem? Perhaps it is that people are building this utopia on the basis of a system of universal human values. Maybe we should abandon these ideas and create a society where every person will be who he really is? An egoist who wants to live only for himself? Former Soviet citizen Alan Reisen invests his capital in building a city where people are no longer burdened by the shackles of universal morality, religion, and government. Selfishness, the desire for personal happiness, the thirst for profit are now a virtue and not a vice. Businessmen are considered the most respected members of society, on whom, as if on the shoulders of Atlanteans, the world rests. By chance, the American Frank Falkland turns out to be in the city, who fits perfectly into the idea of such an Atlantean. Successful businessman, test racer, talented design engineer. What could await him in such a place? Success, the love of the most beautiful woman, the respect of all members of society? Or something creepy and frightening that could make even hell freeze over?

The first novel in the “Atlantean Island” dilogy. Based on the universe of the game “Bioshock.” Controversy with the ideology of Ayn Rand (Alice Rosenbaum) and her novel Atlas Shrugged.
