The dawn of the 21^st century may be characterized as the era of unconventional superconductivity. First we shall classify unconventional superconductors so far identified. Then we survey some of remarkable properties of f-wave superconductivity in UPt₃. We suggest also that the superconductivity in URu₂Si₂ is most likely of f-wave.
