" Pass your mouse over any of the squares and
a virtual floodgate opens - a universe of interconnected and
hyperlinked names, a detailed atlas of who does what to whom.
eBookMap.net is one example of a relatively novel approach to
databases and web indexing. The metaphor of cyber-space comes
alive in spatial, two and three dimensional map-like
representations of the world of knowledge in Cybergeography's
online "Atlas". Instead of endless, static and bi-chromatic
lists of links - Cybergeography catalogues visual,recombinant
vistas with a stunning palette, internal dynamics and an
intuitively conveyed sense of inter-relatedness. Hyperlinks
are incorporated in the topography and topology of these
almost-neural maps.
"These maps of Cyberspaces - cybermaps - help us visualise and
comprehend the new digital landscapes beyond our computer
screen, in the wires of the global communications networks and
vast online information resources. The cybermaps, like maps of
the real-world, help us navigate the new information
landscapes, as well being objects of aesthetic interest.
