Why does trust erode even without collapse? Why does democracy function--yet feels hollow? We understand the system--yet choose not to invest in it. It's the rise of the nobody-cares equilibrium.  Through three figures--the hustler, the sucker, and the nobody-cares agent--\u003cem\u003eNobody Cares\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the hidden logic of modern behavior. Using tools of \u003cem\u003egame theory\u003c\/em\u003e, this book shows how indifference can be rational. Through \u003cem\u003eepistemic logic\u003c\/em\u003e, it explains how everyone can know--and still not act. Drawing on \u003cem\u003eattention economics\u003c\/em\u003e, it reveals why caring has become costly.  We live in the age of indifference. Yet the real problem is not that nobody cares. It is that everyone acts \u003cem\u003eas if\u003c\/em\u003e nobody else does.  \"This is a book for anyone troubled by the gap between what we know and what we do -- and, for those whose task it is to teach others to care, an illuminating formal analysis.\" --Sonja Smets, ILLC, University of Amsterdam  \u003cem\u003e\"Nobody Cares: The Philosophy of Indifference\u003c\/em\u003e is a provocative and essential book.
