### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A change in perspective
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2014*

People take decisions, based on their environment, which is compromised of the decisions others have taken, based on their environment, and so on... Sometimes people have no information beforehand, so they have to guess what will the rest decide. For a book dealing with these questions, it's only natural to resort to game theory. Schelling extends the 1-vs-1 Prisoner's Dilemma to a multitude of persons taking part in it.Another major theme is social sorting, like how do neighbourhoods of blacks and whites form into clusters. Schelling's segregation model is now quite famous and I'd suggest you give it a look on-line for starters to get the basic picture of the book.Many examples are mentioned as to how our choices affect the demographics that interest us or how we sometimes fulfill our own "prophecies".I give it 4 stars, because it wasn't "pop" enough for me. The algebra was mild (and supposedly basic?), but I still couldn't do it, because I don't know s*** about algebra. Other than that, once you get the gist of reading the graphs on the last chapter, you'll start feeling like a genius.It's easy to read and it can be fun experimenting around with the models/graphs on your own.This is a book that shifts your perspective for good. You'll start thinking differently when you're watching groups of people cluster together now (e.g.: surfers vs swimmers at the beach).

    The author is a big expert about the modern sociology.
  

*by E***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2011*

Schelling pones an important question about the actual sociology. The game theory is sufficient for a preview of the future, almost in the sense that it can construct model apted to be useful in the reallity? The answer of the author is ambivalent, because he consider relevant for a good vision of the market the game theory approach, but he retains that it exists a valutation of the behaviors that is related a different aspects of the men personality. The question become more complex because Schelling give us several motivations about this fact, but in this context I wouldn't entry in other details, whom could be very nice if the attention in the lecture is a of a just type.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nobel Prize in 2005
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2020*

Schelling won a Nobel prize in 2005 for game theory analysis.  This book describes how individual motivations contribute to larger behaviors, and group behaviors, which have a broader influence on society.  This type of micro-motivation led heavily into the micro-targeting efforts in my book, "Cashing in on Cyberpower" as well as the analysis behind Cambridge Analytica scandals during 2016.
