Summary: This book guides you in thinking about causality in a systematic way: What is a cause, what purpose do causes serve, and what constitutes compelling evidence of causality? Author Samantha Kleinberg provides a set of tools to help you think more critically about causes. You'll learn how to question claims, identify causes, make decisions based on causal information, and verify causes through additional tests. Whether it's determining the necessary data or understanding how the collection and preparation of data influence the conclusions you can draw, Why will help you refine your skills in causal inference.

Time : how does time affect our ability to perceive and reason with causality?
Observation : how can we learn about causes just by watching how things work?
Computation : how can the process of finding causes be automated?
Experimentation : how can we find causes by intervening on people and systems?
Explanation : what does it mean to say that this caused that?
Action : how do we get from causes to decisions?
Onward : why causality now?
