Question: Does his mode come with pictures and descriptors of the Writers or just a quote> Ya know what'd be cool? Is if they left behind (in the game) some sort of modifier or, like with the mod Great Believers, a special something that was physical and large and showed up in the menu of modifiers. Go check out that mod, you'll see what I mean.

@anrice23 I don't know if Noam Chomsky makes the grade (impressive though he is) but one could argue for historians Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson or maybe documentarian Ken Burns (or even Michael Moore for popular and international reach).

DeadTreeAgainstCLoudySky -- you definitely have a case with Dostoevsky

@SeelingCat Reading the description and comments, I had two thoughts and a question.
I can see excluding Mao (and certainly Hitler) but Marx? That guy changed the world with just one book. Probably only the Bible has had a bigger influence or audience. [And personally I found the latter unmoving and not particularly revealing or interesting, whereas Marx's ideas were concrete and compelling, and I still remember, 30 years later and in a world gone mad and ruined by capitalism, concepts and conclusions that are valid and convincing.]

Ernest Hemingway: invented a style of writing that swept the world, and helped put American writers on the world stage.
