Okay, so first all of all, everybody on #academicsky needs to start with Randy Pausch on the topic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTug... because a) it's great b) he's a professor c) spoilers.

Very interesting area of research. I wonder how it would affect the experience of writing and reading poetry.

I would recommend certain essays by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941).

In one of his writings, he notes with dismay how the emergence of Japan as an Asian power is marred by its shift towards ultra nationalist populism.

He is witnessing the 1920-30s decades first hand.

I completed my post graduation about a decade and half back.
