This is an interesting work in which the Ziegler spectrum is generalised to the context of simple theories. The Ziegler spectrum was introduced in Ziegler's [\textit{M. Ziegler}, ``Model theory of modules, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 26, 149-213 (1984; Zbl 0593.16019)] analysis of the model theory of modules over a fixed ring and has been spectacularly successful in this context. It has also caught the attention of representation theorists and has found many uses in the representation theory of algebras and, more generally, in module theory. Although originally and usually defined in terms of certain modules, the Ziegler spectrum can be defined in terms of equivalence classes of certain 1-types, and the author uses this definition in the context of simple theories. Under the assumptions that a theory is supersimple, modular and eliminates imaginaries and quantifiers, the correspondence between closed subsets of the spectrum and certain theories is established. These are first steps in a direction which deserves further exploration.
