The world high energy physics community has decided that the next large accelerator they want to build is an electron positron linear collider that is over 40 km long.  Some of the exciting discoveries that could come from this accelerator will be described.  The technology behind the accelerator is quite interesting and challenging.  Beams only a few nano-meters in radius will collide over 2000 times per second.
