Given scene/plot descriptions from movies or TV shows, and given a specific question about the scene, summarize the question into a title

[Q]: In "The Art of War" (The Night Of, S01E04), Freddy tells Naz You know what the two most popular books in the prison library are? "The Art of War," for obvious reasons. And "The Other Side of Midnight," for obvious reasons. Now, I haven't read either of those books, but I do know what The Art of War is about and so I understand what the "obvious reasons" are for it being popular in prison. I looked up the plot to The Other Side of Midnight on Wikipedia, and it seems to be mostly about a French woman trying to get what she wants (namely a relationship with an American pilot) through seduction and manipulation. The most relevant thing to prison or the justice system seems to be that at the end, the woman and the pilot plead guilty to murder because they think a plea bargain is in place, when in fact there is no bargain. Later in the episode someone leaves a copy of The Other Side of Midnight on Naz's bed, with a note that says "take the deal." How does that make sense, since seemingly the lesson of TOSoM is to not make a plea deal because you can't trust that there actually is a deal, so why couple the book with the advice to take the deal? And what are the "obvious reasons" that The Other Side of Midnight is popular in prison?
[A]: What is the obvious reason "The Other Side of Midnight" is a popular book in prison?

[Q]: In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we learn that Kingpin wants to find a replacement for his wife Vanessa and son Richard by using their DNA in the machine that opens holes into other universes. (He uses a hair from a comb that gets put into the machine.) But when Peter Parker as Spider-Man is fighting during the machine power up his head is pushed into the beam, which I assume was the reason why other spideys were pulled here because they share the same (close enough) DNA. Including Peni Parker (which could be a distant future relative in her universe, and even Spider-Ham (Peter Porker, which I'll accept as being close enough in his animal universe). But as far as Gwen, Spider-Woman, how was she pulled into Mile's universe? We learn that her Peter Parker was killed long before, so why did a portal/hole open up near her? When she would not share any DNA with Peter at all? It can't just be the randomness we see from other universes, because we would have to assume there would be other (normal) people pulled in as well, not just spideys. Maybe I missed something, but it just seems like they glossed over a valid reason.
[A]: How was Gwen pulled into Miles's universe?

[Q]: When Cooper and Tars figure what Dr Mann is up to in Interstellar, he tries to escape with a shuttle and manually docks the Endurance but he doesn't manage to get a secure lock. As a highly-trained astronaut he should know this is no good yet he chooses to open the airlock and destroy the ship and, arguably more importantly, to have his innards sucked out. Why does Dr Mann act so foolishly?
[A]:
Why does Dr Mann act so stupidly?
