In this very interesting paper the author introduces a ''non-commutative shape theory'' that is a shape theory for \(C^*\)-algebras which restricts to topological shape theory of Borsuk. His theory applies to some \(C^*\)-algebras which are not covered by a previous paper of Effros and Kaminker. The paper contains also some relations between shape theory and K-theory as, for instance, the proof that standard cohomology and K- theory are shape invariants. Some open problems are proposed.
