Finite and Infinite Games. A vision of life as play and possibility. James P. Carse.
Finite and Infinite Games. A vision of life as play and possibility. James P. Carse. 2012. ISBN 9780029059807. A seminal book on the subject, (Game theory) which has became quite topical in the technology world with speakers such as Simon Sinek. This is a deceptively thin book that will warrant several rereads to tease out the ideas Carse puts forward. I would very often find myself lost in the ideas and then the author would hit me with a particularly resonating section. This would be sufficient to push me into the next few sections. I found the first few sections challenging and then it caught in the dialectal discussion. Like the Phenomena of Man by DeCardin, this can be a mind changing book, full of life lessons.
