Finite and Infinite Games - by James P Carse
This book starts with some general definitions of the economics theory of finite and infinite games. Things like finite games having defined rules and players, precise start times, and the way to which a game ends and a winner is declared. Contrast that with the infinite games that are constantly evolving so that they never end.
Honestly, by itself, the theory and definitions of game theory aren't that interesting. But James Carse takes these ideas and applied them to all different areas of life, from the ownership of property, to professional life, to nature, technology, and even sexuality.
Enjoy.
