Anyone fancy spending a week sailing across the Bay of Logic, or maybe emigrating for several years to Fool’s Paradise?
I hear that it’s not easy to get a visa for Utopia these days.
James Turner’s Map Of Humanity is a staggering achievement and, judging by his explanation, is not something to take lightly.
It is an attempt to map the last six thousand years of human history and thought upon a theoretical geography to discover a sense of what kind of civilization humanity has attained. And like the geography of human nations, it is in constant flux, changing and growing as long as mankind walks the face of the earth.
Personally I think it’s wonderful. I certainly don’t pretend to understand the complexity and scientific nature of how it has been created but I’ve already spent too much time examining the detail and ‘having a good look around’.
