This book was recommended in a podcast, for those interested in game theory, decision making and similar topics and hence I was tricked into buying it.

The book starts of with a warning to skip the first parts if you are "a normal reader". I would strongly suggest for readers to do this. The book starts off in the deep end where the reader will sink to a dept that have you wondering if you will ever be in the mood to read any book in your life any more. Getting trough it will require a true interest in the intricate details of the subject or stubbornness to a unhealthy level.

A way better approach to this book would have been. to read the last chapter first and continue backwards chapter by chapter, since the later parts of the book are really interesting.
