Game theory is something that I see mentioned quite often, but I am totally unfamiliar with it. Do you have any suggested books, papers, or videos you believe may give me a entry-level understanding of the subject?
So for something interactive which helps build intuition, this is a great game about the prisoner’s dilemma (goes in the same direction as what greylag linked actually, but with much cuter animations, and can serve as intro). If you want something with more substance, I don’t think I can beat a thorough reading of the wikipedia page followed by choosing a book from their further reading section which matches what you’re comfortable with.
not at all, and especially not for subjects with intro textbooks. That said, it’s just a starting place, and it’s almost worth as much as a source of references as an actual overview.

This may not be entry-level, but Axelrod’s The Evolution of Co-operation might be an enlightening deep/broad dive.
Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll add it to my reading list.

This game looks really interesting. Thank you!
I often hear people say that wikipedia is not a reliable source of information. In your opinion, is the true?
