I am Watching The Watchmen
I have just started reading the graphic novel, and I am blown away! I really like the subtle references to Einstein, and George Orwell among many other great thinkers. The book is full of coincidence, and I love coincidences. For example there is a a story how the book includes they story of Kitty Genovese, a woman that was killed out side her home in New York, where almost forty neighbors looked on and nobody called the cops. This was an influence in how Rorschach became. That is a very important story in The Tipping point by Malcolm Gladwell. If I were to recommend any books the first two would be The Watchmen and The Tipping Point.
