This unique text takes an imaginative and vivid look at the foundations of Game Theory in the form of a play. The dialogues explore epistemological, institutional and methodological aspects of the field through a critical evaluation of theories and common misunderstandings. Another underlying aim is to map out possible future developments.

From the reviews:
"The book is indeed a scientific dialogue, written in the form of a theatrical work in five acts. … most valuable for anyone launching a career related to game theory. … The book might form the basis for an informal seminar, or could well be recommended for additional reading in connection with … formal treatment of game theory. The topics are well chosen, and the writing is entertaining and of high quality. The book is a welcome addition to the literature on game theory." (Gerald A. Heuer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1065, 2005)
