Prisoner's Dilemma: John Von Neumann, Game Theory, and the Puzzle of the Bomb by William Poundstone

5.0

This is a fantastic read that primarily covers three topics: the life of 20th century mathematical genius, John von Neumann, the development of game theory (with the help of von Neumann), and the issue of nuclear proliferation (featuring both von Neumann and game theory). All three topics are presented in interesting and easy to understand language. Even the topics in game theory didn’t use too much math. Highly recommended.
