Something I'm surprised is not mentioned is the old series The Prisoner.... I've only recently saw it so it wasn't on my list. But I've got to say after watching it I felt like every show dealing with the nature of reality, simulation, or prison is just a take on that show.

Growing up in Portugal in the eighties and early nineties, the choice wasn’t that big. The Knight Rider and The A-team are obvious choices but I really enjoyed early British series like The Saint and The Avengers (the series not the Marvel one) and Mission Impossible (also the American series)! Go...

Baby Boomers Meet John Doe, 2001: A Space Odyssey... Monty Python, Only Fools and Horses... Alan Ford... But, music defined me more than anything. It started with evergreen from the 50's, Bossa Nova, Classical,... and is still going on (just can't state any music here, it would be a huge list). ...

Defined is tricky, since those all came later in life. These all had a major impact at various points, though: Books: His Dark Materials trilogy, The Fountainhead, Man's Search for Meaning, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Non-violent Communication: A Language of Life TV Shows: Firefly, Dragonball ...

Gen X here. First book that pops to mind is Robinson Crusoe. The effort he put in to making a life from nothing motivated me to learn how things worked and gathering the skills to do the same thing. I spent many an hour building useful things for my parents home and later my home. Not used mu...

Late X. Early: Tom Swift, Ender's Game, Dune, Larry Niven. Later, Atlas Shrugged, The Dispossessed, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Hemingway, Harry Potter, Hunger Games.

Seinfeld, the big Lebowski, Bravehart. I’m late GenX/early millennial.

Books are awesome. So many perspectives documented and shelved away (pre-digital) to slowly slip into nothingness. I’ve haphazardly built my collection from (HS &) college reads, hobbies & interests, professional needs, and instant gratifications / guilty pleasures. It’s been my life’s work,...

Millennial (1988) I’ve tried to separate “stuff I enjoyed” from “stuff that defined me” but probably both failed at times and also forgotten some things that did help shape me. Child: When I was still really young, I asked for a real Bible instead of my children’s Bible “so I could r...

Born in 86 so older millennial. As far as "defining" goes, by far, the answer is The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien created a rich enough world that it fascinated me when I discovered it around the age of 14 and I still get something out of it on rereads today. Listened to the Andy Serkis audiobooks wi...

Can only a few movies, books, bands, etc., define you? It’s an ongoing, never-ending process. I wouldn’t know where to start and where to finish. But if someone points a gun at my head, I’d say Metallica, Terry Pratchett, Fight Club, Mr. Robot. Which would translate, I guess, to a 2x fucked ...
