"Many have heard of nxivm and its creator, Keith Raniere, the unassuming Albany man now prosecuted for ensnaring tens of thousands of people in the United States, Mexico, Canada, and elsewhere to do his bidding and pay millions of dollars to participate in his self-improvement methodology. But where did Keith Raniere begin? Enter single mother Toni Natalie, Keith's Patient Zero, the first one indoctrinated into Raniere's methodology and the first one to escape. THE PROGRAM begins with the origin story of nxivm, follows its rise to international prominence, and takes the listener into the down-fall of Raniere through Toni's eyes. During this time she bore witness to the evolution of his methods, including his use of sex, blackmail, and employment of psychological tools such as neuro-linguistic programming to control and punish those who would not heed his wishes. She uniquely details the fortunes lost and the lives left in disarray that she witnessed contemporaneously, including members of DOS, a group of women coerced into sexual acts under the guise of a "women's empowerment" inner circle, whom Raniere exercised extreme control over both directly and through his lieutenants."--,Provided by publisher.
