摘要
A brief history of quantum gravity is sketched. While familiarity with basic ideas and notions of contemporary physics is assumed, technicalities are kept to a minimum and use of equations is avoided. Rather, the emphasis is on providing a coherent picture of the evolution of ideas and the current status of the subject.
