Description
Len Fisher explores how game theory can help us understand cooperation in everyday life. From polite dinner parties to crowded supermarkets and natural environments, he examines how modern science has shed light on the problem of global cooperation.
The outcomes are often humorous, sometimes alarming, but always revealing. Fisher's experiments take him from one unexpected setting to another, demonstrating the power of game theory in a wide range of situations.
