A Prisoner's Dilemma

A Prisoner's Dilemma

by WilliamPoundstone (Author)

Synopsis

Game theory - a branch of mathematics concerned with conflict and deception - is one of the core concepts of our time. Prisoner's Dilemma traces the life of John von Neumann, who constructed the theory, invented the digital computer, and played a key role in the development of the atom bomb. William Poundstone, the author of The Recursive Universe and Labyrinths of Reason , weaves into the story a history of the pivotal phases of the Cold War and an investigation of game theory's far-reaching influence on public policy today.
