The Literature-Map is part of Gnod, the Global Network of Discovery.It is based on Gnooks, Gnod’s literature recommendation system. The more people like an author and another author, the closer together these two authors will move on the Literature-Map.

I have this long running conjecture that used book stores are superior to commercial book outlets (including Amazon) for discovering books. One of the reasons for this I think has less to do with a skewed explore/exploit strategy, and more to do with the way exploratory suggestions are sourced. I think financial pressure skews exploratory search suggestions towards oversampling newer books rather than older adjacent books. I get that though; oversampling newer books is a simple way to help combat the rich getting richer trap. The problem is that I’m biased against new books; I think they’re mostly noise.

Beautiful, easy data visualization and storytelling
