Other Genres than Science Fiction & Fantasy

This entry needs to include other genres, especially the mainstream tradition of the novel: the title is misleading at the moment. John Cowper Powys refers to "race memories" in ''A Glastonbury Romance'', and D. H. Lawrence may also do so. But there must be others. Rwood128 (talk) 13:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopedic?

Does this kind of article really belong in an encyclopedia or is it more trivial? - Citizen89 (talk) 10:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assassin's creed

Shouldn't the Animus from Assassin's Creed be added to this section as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.249.40.250 (talk) 16:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neal Stephenson

Someone could add a mention of Stephenson's novels Snow Crash and The Diamond Age, if you're familiar with them you'd know they deal with the concept at hand.--209.131.252.24 (talk) 05:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Herbert's Dune

Don't forget Frank Herbert's masterpiece. In the Dune universe the Bene Gesserit are a group of women who seek to mature mankind and bring about a Kwisatz Haderach, or super-being. The Bene Gesserit leaders, the Reverend Mothers, can recall almost all of the memories of their ancestors on the female side. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.137.151.40 (talk) 06:37, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, later books show that the Kwisatz Haderach as well as most of his relatives (his sister, his children) as well as some other characters have the same ability, but without the gender restriction, which sometimes leads to "possession", an ancestor taking over the body of the living person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.116.188 (talk) 12:41, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
