Book writer connections

From Lisa Williams

If you type an author’s name into GNOD’s Map of Literature, you’ll get a little scatter plot with that author’s name in the center. Surrounding them will be authors whose readership overlaps with theirs — the closer the next name is, the more the overlap.

Mysteriously, the names jitterbug about as you watch them, as if they were being blown by a stiff wind — or animated by live feeds from Amazon.
