The Evolution of Cooperation
Revised Edition
Robert Axelrod
The book explores how cooperation can emerge in a world of self-interested entities through the lens of the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma game, demonstrating that strategies based on reciprocity can lead to stable and mutually beneficial partnerships. It combines interdisciplinary research, computer-simulated tournaments, and case studies to illustrate the conditions under which cooperation can evolve and be sustained.
