Review of 'No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
I've read Tom Slee's blog for a while, and I'm glad I finally got his book. It's similar to [b:Rock, Paper, Scissors: Game Theory in Everyday Life|3106009|Rock, Paper, Scissors Game Theory in Everyday Life|Len Fisher|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223478717s/3106009.jpg|3137259] in concept, but as you can tell from the titles, Slee presents an interesting selection of problems as well as a game theory lens on solving them. Where Rock, Paper, Scissors feels at times like a parade through the social “weird news” hits of recent history, Slee builds an arc through each class of problem, up from the basic prisoner's dilemma until the big social problems he raises are explained.
