If you’ve read my essays over the last two years, you know I’ve used game theory to analyze Donald Trump’s actions and many other political issues. I decided to put them into a book called Game Theory in the Age of Chaos. For the next two weeks, you can preorder it on Kickstarter and get a copy sent to you and one sent to your Democratic Senator or Representative. If you don’t have one, we’ll match you up with one.


This is a project of Basket of Adorables, the cute little advocacy group that my co-designer Gaby Weidling and I founded in 2016. Gaby and I talk about the book here.

We got mathematician Richard Malena-Webber to write some theory explanations plus Max Temkin wrote a foreword, and Gaby, Wes Schneider, and Liz Spain made it read and look good. Shane Steed made us a website, and we really want your help to win this election for the good peoples.

Oh, you may remember Basket of Adorables from this book, The Ghastlytrump Tinies, which we put out with a similar donate-and-get-for-a-penny offer.


You can read about that parody children’s book here. While we still have a few left, you can get Game Theory in the Age of Chaos AND The Ghastlytrump Tinies by adding $25 to your Kickstarter pledge. We don’t have a lot of those left, but we’re happy to get them to you if you help us get these books to Congress. Thanks for reading, and please vote for Democrats in the coming years.

Live every election like it’s your last, because this time it might be.
