Contents:

A few reflections on the nature of spacetime -- Fundamentals of quantum mechanics -- Topology to express the quantum uncertainty of space and time -- Aspects of general relativity -- Properties of black holes and wormholes -- Cosmic evolution: a black hole perspective -- The mimicking nature of quantum spacetime -- Topological quantization of spacetime -- Further implications and predictions -- Future outlook: the multiverse.

Summary: Since its inception, general relativity has been unreceptive to a marriage with the quantum aspects of our universe. Following the ideas of Einstein, one may pursue an approach that allows spacetime itself to take centre stage. The quantum properties of matter are then carried by the dynamics of spacetime shape and connectivity. This monograph introduces the reader to the foundations of quantum spacetime in a manner accessible to researchers and students. Likewise, interested laymen that lack a strong background in quantum mechanics or spacetime studies but are keen to learn would find this in.
