Noncommutative geometry and mirror symmetry

I will outline an approach to noncommutative geometry, due largely to M. Kontsevich, where certain A-infinity categories play the role of spaces. This noncommutative geometry program draws much of its inspiration from homological mirror symmetry. The talk will be purely expository: it will not contain any new results.
