TraderStav posted:Just finished watching Frost/Nixon and realized I am grossly unfamiliar with the events that took place leading up to and during the Watergate scandal. I'm sure there is a LOT of books on the topic but is there one or two that stand out as the authority on the topic? For a broader look at Nixon and the politics of the time, Nixonland is a good book. It uses the biography of Nixon and his rise to power to really explore the changes that were happening at that time in American history. While it is centered around Nixon, it is really the story of the rise of conservatism and the changes in American culture. dohminator fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jun 21, 2009 |

I'm curious if there are any books that deal with what would happen to a basically super powered character that has something akin to God like powers. However, I wouldn't want it to be some stupid self-insertion, but an actual exploration of what it would be like to be more powerful than anyone that has ever existed. What would happen if we could make all of our fantasies a reality, and what downside this could have as instant gratification can lead to boredom. What could go wrong if we tried to save the world and make it a utopia? How would someone that was an ordinary person struggle with being given these powers and allowed to make these choices? What would it do to that person? Is there anything like this?
