When all you have is a hammer, your problems start to look like nails.
... It wouldn't be too bad. I'd focus the power mostly on crushing the big bad.
Here's copy of my list.
I like the Wizardry series by Rick Cook, It's about a expert computer programmer who is sent to a fantasy world, and then he discovers that he can manipulate magic like computer programs.
I also like the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series
I like The Matrix, hacking reality to do kung fu is awesome in my opinion
there are a few video game that I enjoyed immensely(if you want a description of them I can type one up or direct you to a few sites for them.)
they are the Boktai series, Lunar Knights, Skies of Arcadia, and the Final Fantasy series
I like some broad categories of movies: Zombie horror, b horror movies, action/comedy
I also like anime and manga, so if you need more ideas for me just ask.
...there's not that many book...Just tell me if you need me to put more ideas down
