I will give a tour of the subject of generalized geometry, with a special focus on generalized complex geometry, a kind of geometric structure which interpolates between complex manifolds and symplectic manifolds. It has been particularly useful for understanding mysterious geometric structures occurring in the physics of nonlinear sigma models.
I will also describe how the subject has inspired advances in Dirac and Poisson geometry. Finally, I will outline a number of new developments and outstanding questions for the future.
