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.
