有限游戏是日常生活中常见的竞争，是我们在商业与政治、卧室与战场上玩的游戏——有赢家和输家，有起点也有终点。无限游戏则更为神秘，并且归根结底带来更大的回报。它们没有既定剧本且不可预测；它们是真正自由的源泉。——摘自 1986 年版封底。

…concepts in that book frequently appear in my thoughts 20 years after I worked through some of it. I don’t associate it with truth; but some of the mental models have really stuck with me. Edit: also Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse. It’s slim and user friendly to a fault, and would be easy to underestimate at first glance, but imho contains great wisdom and beauty.
关于詹姆斯·卡斯的《有限与无限的游戏》，我最喜欢的一点就是你可以把整本书“bla bla bla”一笔带过：“世上有两种游戏。一种可以被称为有限游戏；另一种叫无限游戏。玩有限游戏是为了赢，玩无限游戏……
