The most useful books on power share a structural move: a sympathetic protagonist who must use the dark side in order to defeat it. Pierce Brown's Darrow does what the Golds do, then breaks their system from inside. Robert Greene catalogs what manipulators do, then hands the same vocabulary to readers who would otherwise be the targets. The genre is 'power studies'; the actual audience is the high-agreeableness person being penalized for it.
