中譯本(簡體)：博奕與信息經濟學本書編寫過於教科書，是硬書。當然，大概率是我自己的問題。我不由的想到，如果我重生回初高中，恐怕依然會是個學習的失敗者。但我還是學到點東西的，這得感謝deepseek，除了我的健康，在學習的路上，它的助益無可取代。雖然我向它說我要放棄這本書，改從演化類的科普書中獲取相關的知識。但它卻說這不是放棄，而是轉進。因為數億年的物種演化，就是個博奕的實戰場。囚徒困境、鷹鴿策略、一報還一報等概念，都不是稀罕物。目前，令我感慨最深還是囚徒困境。在我的生活經驗裡，雖不願意，卻是避不開它。我問deepseek，當整個社會都處在一種囚徒困境(大家都擺爛、互不信賴)的狀態時，該怎麼辦？它說要重覆的博奕，以及運用一報還一報等的策略。我理解它的意思，但對前景依舊悲觀。雪崩時，沒有一片雪花是無辜的。
