TextArc is an interactive program that reproduces the text of more than 2,000 books as works of art.
The software converts the text into an interactive map that allows viewers to quickly see relationships between words and characters at a glance, even without having read the book. Try it with Alice in Wonderland. (Links opens a full-screen window.)

Trippy. Just like magical mushrooms. From Alice in Wonderland of course. Yes. That's it...

Superb. Now if only I could grok the underlying concept...

Nothing's happening. I don't see any magic. I guess I've always been a bit of a skeptic.

this seems to be the same sort of idea as something i saw many months ago. it showed the similarity of other music bands to the one you type in. hard to explain; looking for a link!

Iye! I *think* this is cool, but I don't quite understand it.
