内容简介
······
A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence
"Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality–the study of cause and effect–on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

终于！看完了！醍醐灌顶！太精彩！基本改变了对统计的认知！9.6-9.24，amazing的18天阅读体验。
给即将沉溺于科学研究的俺一句警告⚠️ Data is dumb without model! 虽然不知道以后可以有怎样的运用，但以后会研究结果多了一点critical thinking，也对literature review多了一分重视。
感觉写得不好. 如果要了解causal inference还是看标准的教材吧
干货略少
