There are lots of interesting insights in here and some very nice conclusions regarding the relationship between the world and how it’s broken down in mathematical game theory.>

Does a very good job dispelling the notion that game theory necessarily ignores all social context and thus gets things completely wrong. Highly recommended for people who like weird cross-over episodes.

Lucky that I have taken enough game theory courses so I don't have to read Austen.

The book actually makes me want to go Austen 😂 which is very out of character for me

In his book Capital, Thomas Piketty recommends reading Austen and makes many references to her works as a great economics tutor.

It's so good! I'm very glad you enjoyed it! 😊

How much Austen do you need in your bank for this to make sense?

He does provide detailed summaries of all novels so that people who haven’t read them (eg, me) can follow along!

OMG thank you for sharing! I must inject this into my eyeballs ASAP!!!
