This is a review of the aspirations and disappointments of the canonical quantization of geometry. I compare the two chief ways of looking at canonical gravity, geometrodynamics and connection dynamics. I capture as much of the classical theory as I can by pictorial visualization. Algebraic aspects dominate my description of the quantization program. I address the problem of observables. The reader is encouraged to follow the broad outlines and not worry about the technical details.

Problem of Time and Background Independence: classical version's higher Lie Theory
Extends classical Lie theory with Lie's Algorithm and a commuting pentagon invariance criterion to locally resolve the Problem of Time via background independence.

Wormholes as red herrings: reflection positivity and the reconstruction of unitary quantum field theories
Unitary QFTs are determined up to unitary isomorphism by closed-manifold partition functions; every reflection-positive partition function comes from a unitary QFT, so spatial wormholes do not break Hilbert-space fact...

Nambu variant of Local Resolution of Problem of Time and Background Independence
The paper extends a local resolution of the Problem of Time to Nambu n-ary bracket formalism, introducing Nambu-Dirac and Nambu algorithms and a claimed uniqueness theorem for Nambu observables.
