Literary Universe

What if books weren’t placed on shelves?

What if books were a universe?

Books can be connected by far more than genre.

A quiet literary novel can sit surprisingly close to a philosophical work of nonfiction.
A psychological thriller can share a neighbourhood with a book that looks completely unrelated.

Explore the relationships.

🌌 Explore Our Literary Universe

Pink = Fiction • Blue = Non-fiction

Ink & Inference is a one-of-a-kind Literary Intelligence Platform. The only platform that maps the relationships between books.

Netflix meets Goodreads meets Data Science, but for books.

Discover books spatially, not alphabetically.

Explore Books in a New Dimension

An interactive literary universe where books cluster by mood, themes, ideas, and style.

What is this?

Each dot is a reviewed book.
Nearby books share similarities.
Fiction and non-fiction live in the same universe.

Hover over (if you are using a laptop) or tap (if you are using a mobile phone or tablet) a dot to find out which book it is and do the same to find out what other books are there around your pick. Click (laptop) or tap twice (tablet or phone) to open the review of the book.

“I’ve read books that are rated 4.5 stars and I think are ‘just okay’…” – Kathy

A high rating doesn’t necessarily mean a book belongs in your universe.
