Summary:

Here, sophisticated software combines with comprehensive analysis of every aspect of life to represent the world as it really is. Digitally modified maps - known as cartograms - depict the areas and countries of the world not by their physical size, but by their demographic importance on a vast range of subjects, ranging from basic data on population, health, wealth and occupation to how many toys we import and who's eating their vegetables.
