私たちは八十億人、そのほとんどが南アジアから東アジアへと延びる同じ細い帯の中に暮らしています。地球は都市の昼夜のリズムで脈打ち、起きるたびのウィキペディア編集によって灯ります。知られるすべての言語を示す樹。各点が千人を表す点群。人口統計を、肌で感じられるものとして描きます。
A live atlas of how many years of school a child can expect — 47 nations ranked, racing up the decades, with the schooling-versus-wealth story laid bare.
A live view of the mobile revolution — cellular subscriptions rocketing past one-per-person across 28 nations as the world leapfrogs the landline, drawn straight from the World Bank archive.
A live explorer of every Nobel Prize laureate since 1901 — sift 1,000+ minds by category, decade, gender and birth country, and read the citation that earned each one the call from Stockholm.
A live planet of public holidays — what the world is celebrating right now, and any country’s whole year laid out month by month.
A live scatter of what every nation spends on health against the years it buys — the famous diminishing-returns curve, and the US spending far more yet living no longer.
A live atlas of world kitchens — wander cuisine by cuisine, open any dish, and watch a single ingredient thread itself across the globe.
都市が人類の昼夜のリズムで脈打ちます。人々が眠る地域は暗くなり、目覚める地域は明るくなります。ウィキペディアの編集フレアは言語圏の重心で点滅します（正確な編集地点ではありません）。
Watch humanity drain out of the countryside and into the city — 24 nations crossing the 50% line as their rural and urban halves trade places, decade by decade since 1960.
The age-sex structure of a nation as a back-to-back pyramid — scrub the decades and watch the shape morph from a broad young base to a top-heavy graying spire.
A bar-chart race of adult literacy across five decades — nations hauling themselves from a third of adults reading to nearly all of them, with the 90% summit marked as each one crests it.
A bar-chart race of how long a newborn can expect to live — 24 nations sprinting up the decades, with mid-century leaps and recent dips laid bare.
A bar-chart race of the planet logging on — 25 nations climbing from near-zero to near-everyone as the internet sweeps across three decades.
A bar-chart race of female labour-force participation — 24 nations across the decades, where some send four in five women to work and others fewer than one in five.
A bar-chart race of births per woman as nations tumble from six or seven children toward one or two — the quiet demographic earthquake of the last sixty years, with a replacement line that countries slip beneath one by one.
The demographic transition drawn live: every nation a dot on a births-versus-deaths plane, the gap between them its natural growth — watch booms swell, mature, and slip below the line into shrinking as the years roll by.
地球上のすべての人を一つのピクセル粒子として表します（1:1000のスケール）。八十億の点が、そのほとんどが南アジアから東アジアへ延びる細い帯の中に集まっています。
