Kyle’s doctoral thesis was entitled ''Culling The Herd - The Psychological and Socio-Political Effects, Moral Considerations and Legal Ramifications of Median- and Long-Term Human Engineering Within Closed and Isolated Social Constructs.'' After being published, ‘Culling The Herd’ became a best-seller, reaching #4 on the [[New York Times]] Best-Seller list.
