An Ocean of Books

An Ocean of Books is a big map of a sea of literature where each island represents a single author (there are more than 113,000), and each city represents a book. 

The distance among the authors has been calculated based on their complex relationship thanks to a machine learning technique called Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP).  

An island was assigned to each author, matching the island size with the author’s presence on the web
