    What Hacker News says

      I dove into the science of psychopathy a few years ago after a family incident where my father imploded his life and much of the family's through self-destructive activities and there is actually a bunch of smart people studying the neuroscience of pyschopaths.

      Two great books to start with:

      - The Science of Evil: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Evil-Empathy-Origins-Cruelty/...

      - The Psychopath Whisperer: The Science of Those Without Conscious: https://www.amazon.com/Psychopath-Whisperer-Science-Without-...

      "Crime and Punishment", "Science of Evil", "Developers Hegemony".
