# Preface These are some (extremely sketchy) notes I've taken while attending the [last part of the program on K-theory, algebraic cycles and motivic homotopy theory at the Isaac Newton Institute (INI) in Cambridge](https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/ka2w03/). I don't expect these will be even remotely useful to anyone else, but perhaps this will have some value to those who just want some vague idea of what topics were discussed in talks. If you find yourself perplexed by anything here, the fault is almost surely entirely my own, since I was likely perplexed myself when I wrote it in the first place. Moreover, if anything appears incorrect, that too is surely my fault, either due to my own misunderstandings, typesetting errors, or just not hearing things correctly. The moral of the story: abandon all hope, all ye who continue reading!
