The Recent Excitement in High-Density QCD

Over the past few months, the theory of QCD at high density has been advanced considerably. It provides new perspectives on, and controlled realizations of, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. Here I survey the recent developments, and suggest a few directions for future work.
