The Pleasure Bureau exposes a chilling truth: seduction isn't just personal - it's institutional. From the corridors of power to the digital feeds of social media, emotional manipulation is the world's most effective weapon.Based on declassified cases, whistle-blower memoirs, corporate investigations and innumerable reports from global intelligence and media industries, this book reveals how an entire underground economy thrives on trust, vulnerability, and intimacy - trading them for influence, data, and control.Inside you will learn: How operatives are trained in charm, empathy, and behavioral science - from "listening first" to "emotional scripting."Why powerful men - tech founders, politicians, priests, pilots - are among the easiest targets, and how agents exploit loneliness, ambition, and moral weight to gain access.How secrets and shame are harvested into leverage (kompromat), and why most victims never realize they were targeted.How corporations, governments, and private clients now outsource seduction - via influencers, social-media "assets," PR firms, and ghost networks - making emotional espionage accessible to anyone with a budget.The human cost: operatives burned out, lives destabilized, trust destroyed. And why in an age of performance, silence becomes the last form of resistance.Written in the calm, insider-analyst voice of Sergey Berezkin (author of Reality Hacked), The Pleasure Bureau reads like a field manual, a spy memo, and a moral warning rolled into one. It doesn't dramatize. It documents.Whether you're studying modern espionage, digital influence, security, or simply want to understand how manipulation shapes our world - this book pulls back the curtain and shows the machinery. Inevitable, efficient - and deeply human.
