I've read a couple of his other books, but so far, this one is disappointing. The first 3 chapters are a crazy quilt of random abuse, name-calling, scarecrows, and loaded language as a substitute for arguments. If he ever gets around to it, he seems to be using game theory to make an original contribution to social contract theory.

Part way into chapter 4. If Binmore hadn't written "Playing for Real," a brilliant introduction to game theory a couple of years after this book, I'd have given up 3 chapters ago. The first 3 chapters consist of witless rants against caricatures of other approaches to ethics. As of section 4.3, he seems to have sobered up and switched to expounding his own views. Hope the trend continues.
