TY  - JOUR
AB  - An overview is given of the way in which the unification program of particlephysics has evolved into the proposal of superstring theory as a primecandidate for unifying quantum gravity with the other forces and particles ofnature. A key concern with quantum gravity has been the problem of ultravioletdivergences, which is naturally solved in string theory by replacing particleswith spatially extended states as the fundamental excitations. String theoryturns out, however, to contain many more extended-object states than juststrings. Combining all this into an integrated picture, called M-theory,requires recognition of the r\^ole played by a web of nonperturbative dualitysymmetries suggested by the nonlinear structures of the field-theoreticsupergravity limits of string theory.
