The recommended text for the networks section of my complexity theory course is Networks: An Introduction by M.E.J. Newman. I haven't read it yet but the instructor spoke highly of it.

For game theory I'd recommend the Yale Open Course on Game Theory. You should be able to find a bunch of readings linked on the site.

Martin Nowak's book Supercooperators is also pretty interesting. It's a nice bridge between game theory and networks. It's nice because it focuses on evolutionary and spatial game theory which maps rather neatly onto network theory.

Samuel Bowles would also be a good place to start especially since it's a bit more economics oriented. He's doing some of the most interesting work on applying game theory to the evolution of social institutions.

There are also a number of game theory courses that come up regularly on coursera. i'm not sure if they'll be back in session over the summer but you can probably check.
