"Calculating Empires" is an interactive visual map of every major technology and power since 1500—mapped by who controlled it, who it displaced, and what power structure it built.
What you get:
- instant access to the most significant technologies, inventions, and ideas that shaped the world
- the comprehensive tree that connects ideas across generations (y axis) and spheres (x axis)
- access cross-disciplinary interactive map
How to apply? The research is already done. You need to find ideas that you are passionate about and connect them to your personal aspects.
We give a few good examples below:
Gardening: Go through the "Geology" part on the "Litosphere" section. Find the Essay on the Theory of Earth by Georges Cuvier and connect it to your gardening experience.
AI: The map shows the direct line from 1950s "calculating machines" used for census control to today's algorithmic sorting. Compare how both determine who gets resources.
Gaming: Track "interfaces" from punch cards to touchscreens, and see how each one trained users into specific behaviors that served institutional power.
