V for Vendetta

- Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand - V for Vendetta - Alan Moore/David Lloyd - Heat: How we can stop the planet burning - George Monbiot These are the books that quite literally changed my world view and interpretation of our place/purpose in it.

Not one book, but two graphic novels. "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta", Alan Moore's perspective is such a great perspective. Alan Moore tackles important philosophical questions in a really accessible medium. Alan Moore is a realist with very dramatic inclinations and all hackers will appreciate the references in his works. He combines the pretentious with the subtle in a way that will blow your mind. It's not very time-consuming to read through a graphic novel, but after reading them you will spend a lot of time processing the content in your mind, until you reread the graphic novels by Alan Moore.
