Functioning as a viable alternative to the standard algebraic analysis method, the categorical approach explored in this book makes microlocal sheaf theory accessible to a wide audience of readers interested in symplectic geometry.

“The style of the presentation reflects the origins of the book, in a series of lectures delivered by the author. … several simple but significant examples are worked out. This provides a good overall vision of the subject.” (Andrea D’Agnolo, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2022)
