Description
The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect by Judea Pearl and Dana Mackenzie
This influential book revolutionized our understanding of causality, transforming science and the world. Computer scientist Judea Pearl and science journalist Dana Mackenzie explain causal thinking to general readers, showing how it allows us to explore the world as it is and the worlds that could have been.
By understanding cause and effect, we can think better and gain a deeper understanding of the world. This book provides the theoretical basis for progress in artificial intelligence and redefines what it means to be a "thinking machine".
