Which I think does a really good job of drawing parallels between the sort of personality and behavior our society encourages and rewards and how an obsessive person with no morals or regard for human life can really excel under capitalism. Like, it's the same skill set.

If not for the fact that American Psycho was published at the beginning of the 1990s, I would assume that it was a well-researched depiction of Autism (murder and psychopathy aside). It's a book about a dude who has a lot of brain stuff going on that just happens to make him good at Wallstreet.
