Authors' review: We study the birational geometry of the \(95\) families of Fano \(3\)-fold weighted hypersurfaces \(X = X_d \subset {\mathbb{P}}(1,a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4)\), corresponding to the famous \(95\) families of \(K3\) surfaces \(X_d \subset {\mathbb{P}}(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4)\) of Reid and Fletcher [\textit{M. Reid}, in: Journées de géométrie algébrique, Angers 1979, 273-310 (1980; Zbl 0451.14014); \S 4, and \textit{A. R. Iano-Fletcher}, in: Explicit birational geometry and 3-folds, Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 281, 101-173 (2000; Zbl 0960.14027); \S 13.3]. Our main aim is to prove a rigidity theorem for the general \(X_d\) in each family, by analogy with the famous theorem of Iskovskikh and Manin on the rigidity of the quartic 3-fold; on the way, we derive as much instruction and amusement as possible on topics in biregular and birational geometry of Fano 3-folds and Mori fibre spaces. While this paper uncovers an amazing wealth of new phenomena and methods of calculation, many of the basic questions remain open, and we spell some out of them. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0942.00009].
