Anyone who could weigh in on if Chaos(the book excerpted in the link) is a worthwhile read?

It seems interesting but I got kind of a vibe like the author, when left with understandable spaces in actual available information, leaves an implication that whatever the truth is it must be very sinister, and very potent in effect or very large in scope. Personally I feel like I would be more interested in whatever facts have been scrounged together without too much of a noticeable authorial hand.

I recall skimming another book that started with looking at the connections that American serial killers had with military service during Vietnam, but then went hardcore into the direction of satanic DID cults running murders for hire(or fun, I guess), and the objective connections in themselves seemed interesting enough to learn about. Though what Ive heard of Chaos it doesnt have that kind of reputation to be that far out.

Was it Programmed to Kill?

It probably was, I remember it being referenced on here during a discussion about serial killers and getting sceptical pretty fast after noticing factual errors in some of the cases I was familiar with when discussed in the book.
