The Books
Four volumes. Each stands on its own, and each assumes nothing about the others. Read together they are a single argument: that the world is not chaotic, that it is not steered by the people whose names you know, and that anyone willing to read what is already published can see roughly where it goes.
Book One
The 20 Laws of Game Theory
Power, Conflict, and World Order
Where the method is established. Twenty laws, from the dating market to the world's banking architecture.

If you want the whole system, start at Book One. It builds the instrument on situations you can check against your own life before it is pointed at anything larger.
If you came for geopolitics, start at Book Two. It assumes the method but restates it in a page, and it goes straight to chokepoints, strangulation and grand strategy.
If you want the shortest route to the core idea, start at Book Three. It is the one volume you can hand to someone who has never read a word of the others.
If you want to know what happens next, start at Book Four — and check the predictions against the years as they arrive.
