That series is fantastic, if a bit infuriating. It defines a language around concepts and dynamics I've seen, intuited or had other self-taught people attempt to explain at me, but due to the hollistic nature of theirs and my own education on social dynamics, never clicked for me. The one addition I'd like to see to it is advice for the person who understands the Game, but unlike the Losers (who just want to fly under the radar) and the Sociopaths (who just want power), wants to kill the Game for good. Someone who wishes for the world to work according to democratic principles where everyone is an equal, instead of the feudal lord - serf dynamic exhibited in pretty much all of recorded history.
