One of my favorites non-fiction books on game theory is “prisoners dilemma” by William Poundstone. He goes over the history and evolution of the PD.
along a similar line, I enjoyed Anatol Rapoport’s autobiography CERTAINTIES AND DOUBTS
Thanks for the pointer. I will add Rapoport to my summer reading list…
