The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect
Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician Judea Pearl shows with The Book of Why how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence.
Much like Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow, The Book of Why is among the rare books that both upend the foundations of scientific thought and empower ordinary people with new understanding of their own thinking.
"Illuminating ... The Book of Why not only delivers a valuable lesson on the history of ideas but provides the conceptual tools needed to judge just what big data can and cannot deliver." -- New York Times
