Humans create data with nearly everything we do. This world of information is invisible, but it shapes society in profound ways. In Atlas of the Invisible, award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti redefine what an atlas can be. Transforming enormous data sets into rich maps and cutting-edge visualizations, they uncover truths about our past, reflect who we are today, and highlight what we face in the years ahead.

With their joyfully inquisitive approach, Cheshire and Uberti explore happiness and anxiety levels around the globe; they trace the undersea cables and cell towers that connect us; they examine hidden scars of geopolitics; and illustrate how a warming planet affects everything from hurricanes to the hajj. Years in the making, Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to marvel at the promise and peril of data, and to revel in the secrets and contours of a newly visible world.

Industry Reviews

"Fantastic...a magical combo of art and graphic gut-punch." -- Dave Eggers
"Atlas of the Invisible takes this literally, with design-heavy info-mapping of cellular connections in the Great Lakes, eviction rates, the ethnicity of immigrants living on South Halsted Street in 1895. A cartographer's dream, and often revelatory." -- Christopher Borrelli - Chicago Tribune
"An eye-opening visual look at the assumptions and trends that lie beneath how the modern world ticks....Demography and graphic design meet in an extraordinarily revealing book." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[T]his unique volume....is designed to inspire readers to act." -- Library Journal
