Abstract
Open-access reader
I critically review the status of quantum cosmology. The expectations on such a theory are compared with the obtained results. The issues being discussed include the role of boundary conditions, singularity avoidance, the quantum-to-classical transition and the origin of irreversibility, and structure formation.
