Author Description

This children's illustrated book is an activity-filled first exposure to Game Theory. Written by a university professor teaching Game Theory and illustrated by his 7-year-old daughter, the book guides the young reader to experience three famous games in Game Theory first-hand in age-appropriate language. A common theme in these games is that, when people try hard to do better, they may collectively end up worse. The book then connects these games to serious real-life scenarios to convince the young reader of Game Theory's explanatory power. Hopefully, the book will plant a strong and lasting impression of Game Theory in the young reader's curious mind!
