I will present a conjectural picture of what a classification theory for NIP could look like, in the spirit of Shelah's classification theory for stable structures. Though most of it is speculative, there are some encouraging initial results about the lower levels of the classification, in particular concerning structures which, in some strong sense, do not contain trees.
