2021 HALCYON MAP OF THE INTERNET
Compared to any previous iteration of the Map of the Internet, this new version is many times more detailed and informative, forming dozens of distinct clusters, regions and continents that stretch throughout the map, such as "news sites", "search engines", "social networks", "e-commerce", "adult entertainment", "file sharing", "software companies" and so much more. In the center of it all can be found ISPs and web browsers, which form the core and backbone of the internet as we know it, while the far south is the domain of the mysterious "dark web".
Inspired by design of historical maps, this project aims to concisely, but still comprehensively visualize the current state of the World Wide Web, and document the largest and most popular websites over the period of 2020-2021, along with their countless aspects and features.
Relative territorial sizes of websites on the main map are based on their average Alexa web traffic ranking between January 2020 and January 2021.
