In my latest newsletter from tor.com there was an interesting map, a link to an article, and a pointer to the artist... Keith Thompson.
Namely - a steampunk caricature map of Europe in 1914

Whoa. I've got some old caricature maps from the 40's but this is sweeeet.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Thompson's work is fascinatíng. His bio-tech designs are sometimes really scary.

You can see where Adidas got their idea from with their caricature map for Euro 2008
That is a very cool map indeed. Thanks for posting it.
