      Abstract: The study of hypercyclic operators on Banach spaces
        has been pursued intensively over the last decade, leading to
        several exciting new results and some intriguing open
        problems. Recall that an operator T on a Banach space X is
        called hypercyclic if it has a dense orbit, i.e., if for some
        x in X the set {T^n x : n >= 0} is dense in X. While the
        theory of hypercyclicity only started almost 30 years ago with
        a paper by S. Rolewicz, there is a prehistory that dates back
        to the beginning of the century. In this expository talk I
        shall discuss hypercyclicity from these early roots up to the
        most recent advances.
