anything by neal stephenson. anything by philip dick. any of mick foley's books. 'johnny got his gun' by dalton trumbo, 'brave new world' or anything by aldeous huxley. 'how to party like a rock star even when you're poor as dirt' by camper english. the bible.
heroes are for those with little dedication or ambition. i have many people and things that i look up to, but in order to be truly prophetic, you must escape the tenet of an idol. im a big fan of rototoms, but i wouldnt say that they're my hero or anything.
