The Book Of Why. The New Science Of Cause And Effect

The hugely influential book on how the understanding of causality revolutionized science and the world, by the pioneer of artificial intelligence

'Wonderful ... illuminating and fun to read' Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize-winner and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow

'Correlation does not imply causation.' For decades, this mantra was invoked by scientists in order to avoid taking positions as to whether one thing caused another, such as smoking and cancer, or carbon dioxide and global warming. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by world-renowned computer scientist Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed cause and effect on a firm scientific basis. Now, Pearl and science journalist Dana Mackenzie explain causal thinking to general readers for the first time, showing how it allows us to explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It is the essence of human and artificial intelligence. And just as Pearl's discoveries have enabled machines to think better, The Book of Why explains how we too can think better.

'Pearl's accomplishments over the last 30 years have provided the theoretical basis for progress in artificial intelligence and have redefined the term 'thinking machine'' Vint Cerf

Fun little ending but a new beginning for the JLA
Format: Paperback
The writing is cringe in some areas but overall it's good with a nice ending. Art is typical splash page stuff with a lot of poses and pinups. It's mostly a beat em up over the top save the Justice League with an appearance by Lobo.

Bland and generic.
Format: Paperback
Very bland and generic. The art was serviceable but I quickly forgot everything within a day. Nothing memorable at all. I expect more from the head Batman writer. This seemed lazy. Ending was but a whimper.

A Nice Standalone JL Story
Format: Paperback
Justice League: Last Ride really isn't bad, but it never shines greatness either. Superman is suffering throughout this story from the loss of a friend and ally, as well as fatigue from constantly saving people. This is the crux of so many modern Hero stories. Instead of Superman being a beacon of hope, he is dealing with personal and emotional problems. Of course we all need to do just that, however, we as readers look to comics to inspire us. Superhero stories are far less uplifting today, instead bringing characters like Superman down to a more average level. While the story has a positive ending, it comes after six issues of these characters working through their grief. In some aspects I can appreciate it, but I also don't want to stew in depression. I used to look to comics to find stories of heroes working through adversity, and relating their unrealistic situations to how I could overcome my own. Lately, the idea of metaphor seems to be dead. What I really enjoyed: Chip Zdarsky actually gave the characters individual voices. That's one up on many books being published today. It was nice to see a fairly classic Justice League lineup in action. Some of the more recent membership has been odd choices. The art from Miguel Mendonca was fantastic. I'd love to see more of his stuff. There are some great story beats and the 1st chapter is pretty compelling. What could have been better: The dad jokes sprinkled throughout the story were pretty cringey. I'm still trying to understand if Batman and Superman quipping about the pronunciation of S'Mores was supposed to be funny. The story never had a sense of dire consequences, though I'm not sure that's really a bad thing. I think a few small changes to the tone, such as Superman or Wonder Woman being more of a voice of confidence and reason would have helped. We need that beacon of hope in stories like this. Overall: Story: 6/10. A fun read, but a bit of a depressing tone. Art: 8/10. Fantastic character art. I think Miguel Mendonca will be a 9/10 artist in the coming years. Value: 7/10. Definitely worth a read and at a great price currently ($11.99 as of 10/24/22)

A Spectacle!!
Format: Kindle
Aaron packed a LOT of Story, Political Commentary and exposition into one issue. This is a testament to what good Science Fiction and good Comics have the ability to become.

great opening to a unique twist
Format: Kindle
Different, in a good way. This unique twist is relevant and refreshing, and provides a fresh take on the man of steel.
