Cartographer and historian William Rankin argues for a radical overhaul of maps. He asks us to examine our preconceptions and think differently. Maps are not neutral - they are inherently political and they define how the world is divided. To interpret maps objectively, we need to consider what is visible and what is not, how our biases may be reinforced by simple choices - colour, for example - and how maps can amplify but also silence voices. Rankin provides vibrant, radical maps created by himself and other innovative map makers to challenge the use of the map as a tool of the status quo. He makes a persuasive case for pushing the boundaries of cartography to change the questions we ask, the answers we accept and the world we build.
