The modern S-matrix bootstrap carves out the space of 4-point amplitudes compatible with unitarity, causality, and locality. In my talk, I review the current standing and future goals of the bootstrap with an emphasis on three central questions: What features do legal amplitudes have? How can we determine when these 4-point amplitudes extend to n-point S-matrices? To what extent can the bootstrap be applied to amplitudes in the real-world?
