This introduction to higher category theory is intended to a give the reader an intuition for
what $(\infty, 1) $-categories are, when they are an appropriate tool, how they fit into the
landscape of higher category, how concepts from ordinary category theory generalize to this
new setting, and what uses people have put the theory to. It is a rough guide to a vast terrain,
focuses on ideas and motivation, omits almost all proofs and technical details, and provides
many references.
