The Game

Although The Game is subtitled "Penetrating the Society of Pickup Artists," Neil Strauss does far more than infiltrate a subculture, report on its doings and tell you How to pick up Girls. He actually becomes a PUA, as pickup artists call each other online. In fact, he becomes one of the most well-known and successful PUAs, moves in with other PUAs, and lectures AFCs-average frustrated chumps-before his world implodes.

The Game is at heart a cautionary tale, the sort told by rock stars. Strauss, a writer for Rolling Stone and other publications, has co-written books by porn star Jenna Jameson, rocker Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue, and Jane's Addiction bandmember Dave Navarro. Strauss' PUAs appear as implausible and out of control as any rock star, including a pre-rehab Courtney Love, who visits Project Hollywood, a house near the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles that Strauss moves into with several other PUAs.
