I started posting charts at ILoveCharts sometime last year, when I was in the process of inventing them for a character for a forthcoming novel. Even though I finished that novel (coming next spring, Harper Perennial, the line forms at the register), I have kept posting charts at ILoveCharts because, as it turns out, I love them too. My charts have been called meta-charts or charts about charts, and that’s not entirely inaccurate. From the first, I didn’t quite trust traditional infographics; Jason Oberholzer gave me space to explore that distrust.
