Abstract
After reviewing how M-theory subsumes string theory, I report broadly on some new and interesting developments, focusing on the "brane world": circumventing no-go theorems for supersymmetric brane-worlds, complementarity of the Maldacena and Randall-Sundrum pictures; self-tuning of the cosmological constant. I conclude with the top ten unsolved problems.
