The Downfall That House Couldn't See Coming

Robert House claimed he could save humanity. He had the genius, the resources, and the cold calculation to rebuild civilization from the ashes of the Great War. But in his perfect mathematical equation for the future of New Vegas, he ignored one critical variable.
In this deep dive, we explore the philosophy, hubris, and tragic genius of Mr. House. Was he truly the "Last Best Hope" for humanity, or just another tyrant trapped in a pre-war ghost story? We analyze his plans for the strip, his autocracy, and why his vision for a technological utopia was destined to crash.
