No Heroes! However there are some thinkers and publications who can be credibly cited as influential to the Occupy movement according to The Guardian. Others can't help but see parallels with the Situationists. To find out what the occupiers are reading, you might look at what items are available in the People's Library at Occupy Wall Street.
