The book is repleat with obviously made up examples from the author's life. And even if they weren't, they provide precious little justication for the points he is trying to prove. His suggestion that quantum computing has some role in game theory is ludicrous...his suggested use could be duplicated in 20 minutes by anyone who knows excel even moderately well. The book provides very little insight into game theory or indeed any strategies to resolve conflict.
The books only redeeming feature is that it is not very long.

Praised by Entertainment Weekly as “the man who put the fizz into physics,” Dr. Len Fisher turns his attention to the science of cooperation in his lively and thought-provoking book. Fisher shows how the modern science of game theory has helped biologists to understand the evolution of cooperation in nature, and investigates how we might apply those lessons to our own society. In a series of experiments that take him from the polite confines of an English dinner party to crowded supermarkets, congested Indian roads, and the wilds of outback Australia, not to mention baseball strategies and the intricacies of quantum mechanics, Fisher sheds light on the problem of global cooperation. The outcomes are sometimes hilarious, sometimes alarming, but always revealing. A witty romp through a serious science, Rock, Paper, Scissors will both teach and delight anyone interested in what it what it takes to get people to work together.

"Booklist"
"Through a combination of real-world examples...and philosophical problems, Fisher shows us that we're more cooperative than we sometimes think we are, while at the same time startlingly more selfish than we out to be...the writing is lively, the scientific discourse clear and accessible, and the ideas challenging and exciting."
"Publishers Weekly"
"Physicist and Ig Nobel Prize-winner Fisher explores how game theory illuminates social behavior in this lively study.... Fisher does succeed in making the complex nature of game theory accessible and relevant, showing how mathematics applies to the dilemmas we face on a daily basis."

Good first introduction to the world of game theori and why co-operation is the key to achieving the biggest rewards in games and in life.

Best introduction to game theory
2009年5月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A good example of how to write at the "popular" end of the popular science spectrum. Game theory in general deals with settings in which each player has to choose one of several strategies without knowing other players' choices, and gets a payoff depending on everyone's choices (note this is rather different from what we call games in everyday language). Such games typically have a Nash equilibrium, which (roughly speaking) is the result when players behave selfishly; but there may be some different "cooperative" choices of strategies that would make everyone better off (a "social optimum"). This paradox or "logical trap" is usually illustrated by the Prisoner's Dilemma story. Observing where this situation occurs and contemplating ways of getting around them by "self-enforcing strategies" -- how cooperation might be achieved in the face of temptations to cheat -- are the main themes of the book, which is well paced and engagingly easy to read. Some highlights are
(1) Discussion of "7 deadly dilemmas" given cute names by theorists (Prisoner's Dilemma; Tragedy of the Commons; Free Rider; Chicken; Volunteer's Dilemma; Battle of the Sexes; Stag Hunt) -- models in which there is math theory.
(2) A lengthy verbal discussion of strategies to promote trust and cooperation (e.g. making it costly to change your mind later; deliberately cutting off your escape routes).
(3) Martin Nowak's 5 rules for the social evolution of cooperation.
While the in-text accounts of scientific studies in the human social world or in biology are conversationally casual, the end-notes (comprising 1/5 of the book) provide citations to the scientific literature -- a definite improvement on most books at this level.
All popularizers tend to exaggerate the scope of applicability of their subject, but this book less so than most. Let me just mention two ways in which the real world is more complicated than the book implies.
(4) Except in special cases where the payoff is money and nothing else matters, the payoff has to be modeled as some number of abstract "points" (or "utils", in jargon) which one can't actually measure. And then any observed behavior can be construed as optimal behavior in some game theoretic model. So game theory is more like a useful way of thinking about issues, and less like a traditional scientific theory which makes testable predictions
(5) In complicated real world economic situations, trying to make everyone better off is both fiendishly complicated and involves some kind of tax and subsidy scheme; introducing such things creates its own moral hazard outside the context of the one particular game.

Incredible book. Everyone should read it.

Game theory has two sides. The math and its meaning. This book trusts the math to be right, and is focused on what the application of game theory means to real life. It does a superb job of illustrating why game theory works in the real world, and how it makes a difference.

A Good Qualitative Introduction for the General Reader
2009年8月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book by Len Fisher provides a qualitative introduction to game theory for the general reader, describing many of game theory's key concepts, practical insights, and typical applications. He particularly emphasizes social applications and related strategies for fostering cooperation and win-win outcomes, or at least avoiding conflict and lose-lose outcomes. The book is well-researched, and I think Fisher succeeds in making the case that game theory offers some genuinely powerful tools, with the caveat that one must also be acutely aware their limitations, as with all models of complex systems.
One issue I have with the book is that, though it's well written, I don't think that a popularized treatment quite does the job for a subject as technical and complicated as game theory. A more systematic "textbook" presentation, if done well, would have made the subject matter actually easier (not harder) to understand and remember. Related to this, because Fisher avoids mathematical formalism and technical details, the book isn't sufficient to teach you how to actually build game-theoretic models to solve non-trivial real-world practical problems. For that purpose, you need a more rigorous book which includes exercise problems with solutions.
Despite these limitations, I do think this book provides an enjoyable and helpful prelude to a more intensive study of game theory, so I recommend it for that purpose.
