    Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information Manuel Lima Shortly after graduating from the Parson School of Design, Lima launched Visual Complexity — an ambitious portal for the visualization of complex networks across a multitude of disciplines, from biology to history to the social web. Recently released Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information is a rigorously researched, beautifully designed, thoughtfully curated anthology of the world’s most compelling work at the intersection of these two relatively nascent yet increasingly powerful techno-cultural phenomena, network science and information visualization. From the Bible to Wikipedia edits to the human genome, the gorgeous and thought-provoking visualizations in the book will make you look at the world in a whole new way, and the insightful essays accompanying them will vastly expand your understanding of the trends and technologies shaping our ever-evolving relationship with information.
