A course in game theory

What Hacker News says

   I can recommend the book 'A Course in Game Theory' by Ariel Rubinstein and Martin J. Osborne . You'll probably need some mathematical and economic background knowledge to gain the most out of it. Note that it is more abstract than illustrative though it is aimed at a beginner in Game Theory.

   The book ist free to download after a simple registration at http://arielrubinstein.tau.ac.il/books.html

   Ariel Rubinstein is one of the most honest game theorists I've come across. He's extremely critical of the claims that game theory can be used to accurately predict outcomes of the real world [1]. Economic Fables is a semi-biography as well, and has details of his life growing up in Israel. I wish more scientists (across all disciplines) had the audacity to critically assess their own fields of research like Rubinstein. He also gives almost all of his books -- including his widely-used text "A Course in Game Theory" coauthored with Osborne -- for free on his website [2].
