These images represent four texts analyzed by a program by JK Keller. As described on Bioephemera:
Red cubes represent non-unique words, with size depending on number of occurrences; blue cubes are unique words. The X-axis represents the order of the text, from beginning (top) to end (bottom). The diameter of the column is determined (somehow) by length of paragraph.
With the ability to analyze text in such away, why hasn't someone tackled the task of subject, type, style or any other useful search or organization tools for the various free e-books flying about the net? Perhaps Project Gutenberg needs to add a tagging feature, which is now available for many Library of Congress and National Museum of Health and Medicine photos via Flickr.
A belated goodnight to Laura Huxley and a happy 102nd birthday to Albert Hofmann.
