This paper provides a thorough introduction to the causal set hypothesis aimed at students, and other interested persons, with some knowledge of general relativity and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. I elucidate the arguments for why the causal set structure might be the appropriate structure for a theory of quantum gravity. The logical and formal development of a causal set theory as well as a few illuminating examples are also provided.
