I wish to thank my collaborators E. Dudas, T. Gherghetta, M. Lennek, D. Sénéchal, B. Thomas, and V. Wasnik on much of the work described here. I also wish to thank G. Kane for the invitation to transcribe what was originally a Colloquium and turn it into a Chapter for this “Perspectives” volume. My work on this subject through the years has been funded by the National Science Foundation and/or the Department of Energy, although my preparation of this Chapter took place independently of these agencies and no conclusions or opinions expressed herein should be associated with any funding agency whatsoever.

N2 - In keeping with the "Perspectives" theme of this volume, this Chapter provides a personal perspective on the string landscape. Along the way, the perspectives of many other physicists are discussed as well. No attempt is made to provide a thorough and balanced review of the field, and indeed there is a slight emphasis on my own contributions to this field, as these contributions have been critical to forming my perspective. This Chapter is adapted from a Colloquium which I have delivered at a number of institutions worldwide, and I have attempted to retain the informal and non-technical spirit and style of this Colloquium presentation as much as possible.
