Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking

Certainly not a bad book to read if you're interested in learning the basics of the field. If you want a perspective of how a SE should act, you'll get a lot of that. I think I realized maybe 1/3 of the way through that this wasn't really what I was looking for (I guess I just want a compendium of amazing stories), but I finished it nonetheless because a) there was an audiobook and b) I still found it interesting enough. It did feel a little formulaic to me and even repetitive at some points (and a lot of Hadnagy's illustrations felt lame for lack of a better word), but I still felt that if you were trying to break into this field it had good info.
