The purpose of this work is to introduce a notion of \emph{affine stacks}, which is a homotopy version of the notion of affine schemes, and to give several applications in the context of algebraic topology and algebraic geometry. As a first application we show how affine stacks can be used in order to give a new point of view (and new proofs) on rational and $p$-adic homotopy theory. This gives a first solution to A. Grothendieck's \emph{schematization problem} described in \cite{gr}. We also use affine stacks in order to introduce a notion of \emph{schematic homotopy types}. We show that schematic homotopy types give a second solution to the schematization problem, which also allows us to go beyound rational and $p$-adic homotopy theory for spaces with arbitrary fundamental groups. The notion of schematic homotopy types is also used in order to construct various homotopy types of algebraic varieties corresponding to various cohomology theories (Betti, de Rham, $l$-adic, ...), extending the well known constructions of the various fundamental groups. Finally, as algebraic stacks are obtained by gluing affine schemes we define \emph{$\infty$-geometric stacks} as a certain gluing of affine stacks. Example of $\infty$-geometric stacks in the context of algebraic topology (moduli spaces of dga structures up to quasi-isomorphisms) and Hodge theory (non-abelian periods) are given.
