Prisoner's Dilemma: John Von Neumann, Game Theory, and the Puzzle of the Bomb by William Poundstone
5.0
A really good history of the legend that is John von Neumann, game theory and the cold war.
It covers a lot of how game theory progressed and the applications to the on going changes with US/Russian relations.
If I could knock half a point off because of the slow last chapter I would, but I can't. Still a totally worthwhile read though.
I'm still waiting on a proper full Von Neumann biography. If anybody knows one, give me a shout!
