According to the author he would not attempt to address directly or systematically major themes in current research or to predict trends in the future. Rather he would try to explain some questions which at least have the merit that 1) they can be explained in a relatively down-to-earth way; 2) they seem, at present, inaccessible; 3) they are connected with various active topics of current research, in which one can expect substantial developments in the future. The general context in which the author has approached these questions were first the topological aspects of complex algebraic geometry and second symplectic topology. The study of complex algebraic varieties was an important stimulus in the development of algebraic and geometric topology around the beginning of the last century, and of course this interaction has continued very fruitfully ever since so that an enormous amount is now known. The author has expressed the hope that this article would illustrate the fact that, nevertheless, there are large areas, waiting to be opened up in the future, where at present we know little. The article covers: 1. Riemann surfaces and branched covers, 2. Higher dimensions, Lefschetz pencils, 3. Connections with symplectic topology, 4. Possible connections with Floer theory.
