RadioLab covered this topic back in the day, and they have a pretty good description of the research: https://radiolab.org/episodes/104010-one-good-deed-deserves-another

This is amazing! They do a brilliant job of covering the Axelrod Tournament (along with the obligatory Christmas Truce story when mentioning GTFT).

Would have loved to see them do the deep dive into the differences and similarities between the tournament's conditions and real life (and how each one affects the game theory calculus in real world decision making).
