This is amazing.

Brendan Griffen created a map that visually demonstrates how the world’s greatest minds influenced each other.

“Color-coded by genre—so, for instance, fiction authors are in orange, while 19th/20th century philosophers are in red—each node presents a person, and its size is determined by the number of links to other nodes. The data was gathered by studying every profile on Wikipedia that had an “influenced by” or “influences” field.”
