Well, first I should say that you shouldn't make any assumptions based on the blurb. The book is about power, but it's also about the limits of power; while real-world events intersect with the story, I wouldn't have felt comfortable changing history.
To answer your main question, though, I haven't really watched Heroes, although I've heard good things about it. I may check it out on DVD when it's available. When I found out that show was coming out, I was sort of worried about overlap, since there are some superficial similarities with the premise, at least. (I fully expect that someone is going to accuse me of ripping off the series, even though I wrote the book four years before it appeared.) So I didn't watch it from the beginning, and I didn't want to pick it up halfway through.
