[For the entire collection see Zbl 0723.00031.] The aim of this note is to give a short introduction to the classical theory of general topology and to consider some ways, in which one might attempt to formulate a genuine theory of `quantum topology'. In particular, the idea is developed, that the topology of space or spacetime is itself subject to the laws of quantum theory, and that this necessitates moving outside the realm of smooth manifolds. In this context the author exhibits some basic material from general topology and other mathematical structures placing special emphasis on the more algebraic aspects of the subject. The paper leaves open many difficulties, both at the technical and at the conceptual levels.
