The Evolution of Cooperation: Revised Edition by Robert Axelrod

4.0

Good discussion of the iterative prisoner dilemma game and how the tit-for-tat strategy seems to be the best strategy for the participants. This is extrapolated to human cooperation as opposed to strict self-interest in the prisoner's dilemma game which leads to bad results for both participants. I would like to read Richard Dawkins Selfish Gene sometime soon which I think builds on this result.
