Taking another look at this one right now. I know it's not your kind of stuff, people, but Public Relations is f..king amazing (I have a lot of similar stuff at home)! You should give some books about Public Relations a try! Seriously, they don't bite! XD

While calling it "public relations" you mean propaganda right? Try "Gustave Le Bon - Psychology of the masses".
"Some people believe propaganda and public relations are the same thing because “they both lie.”
Sure, both public relations and propaganda seek to shape perceptions and influence public opinion. Both use mass media. Both are directed at specific audiences. The end result of both is to get people to take action (though those actions differ immensely).
The main difference?
Truth.
Propaganda uses lies, half-truths, innuendo, smears, misinformation, one-sided arguments and inflammatory rhetoric to influence the public’s attitude toward a cause, ideal or, usually, a political agenda.
Public relations uses truth if, for no other reason, their claims can be checked. PR relies on logic, facts and sometimes emotions to spread information between an organization or individual and its publics—information to promote products, services and build good will for the organizations offering them.
Propaganda’s underlying philosophy is us against them. “They” are often denigrated as undesirables or simply “the enemy.” (We have freedom fighters; they have terrorists.)
Public relations’ underlying philosophy is building trust between an organization and its products and services with its targeted audiences for mutual benefit.
Propaganda relies on one-way communications. It seeks to eliminate dissent, and those who disagree may suddenly “disappear.”
Increasingly, public relations relies on two-way communications via social media and encourages different points of view so organizations can better service their clients and customers.
To sum up
Both techniques may employ “spin.”
If what they’re spinning is based on truth, it’s PR.
If not, it’s propaganda."
Oh, and I know that book, but still thanks a lot for the suggestion! :)
I also want to mention I love and use the term "Hive Mind" from time to time when talking about the masses. I think it is cool! XD
This book means so much to me, you people have no idea. It's a f..king relic to me!
Thanks to it, I learned coding/programming and how a video game engine works at the age of twelve at home alone during 1999's summer here in Argentina. While my friends where playing football/soccer in the street all day, I was making f..king video games (which they played of course :P)!
Nothing? Seriously? I feel your pain, bro. XD
For example, Arabian Nights is one of my favorite books of all time, maybe you could give it a try if you haven't read it yet. ;)
Yeah, I love Scheherazade. :P
Just read Isaac Asimov's FOUNDATION novels again, as preparation for the upcoming AppleTV show. 😊

They are similar, but not the same.

Always loved Alexander the Great!
Not books, just very old comics, but OMG the memories! :'(
