"Sentence Drawings", Writing Without Words, Stefanie Posavec: a sprawling, color-coded tube network that diagrams the length and topic of every sentence in [Jack Kerouac's On the Road]. The narrator cuts through the image in fire engine red, while jazz appears as a soft blue and drugs are a taupe. At the end of each sentence, the line diverges from its path, making a sharp 90-degree cut. The result is a real feel for the book, even if you’ve never read it -- a unique trip through the winding rant of Kerouac’s stream of consciousness. “The Writing Without Words project started as a project to visualize differences in authors’ writing styles and became something different where I used data to communicate what I personally found beautiful and interesting about literature.”

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.
