/lit/ - Literature

I need book recs like pic related. I'm trying to learn to exploit people; I'd like to be able understand all of people's vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

I don't care for morality and I want things that go in depth. I don't want recycled pop-psych garbage about persuasion and influence. Robert Greene is the only author I've seen that ever has anything compelling to say on the subject.

I was considering reading helter skelter or perhaps some other books about cults, since those are basically case studies in exploiting people.

Also, save the advice and advocacy - I'll just ignore you, or that part of your suggestion. I'm open to hearing about different strategies and inferences, though. Basically, just don't try to dissuade me or bring up some shit by Mark Manson or something. Thanks.
