Caught this on <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/09/wondrous-detailed-ma.html" target="_blank">boing boing</a> today. Pretty interesting stuff. Artist Ward Shelly maps out the history of science fiction in a crazy illustration that starts with ancient myths and legend and meanders through different philosophies, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, Jules Verne and into the 20th Century. Crazy detailed and a solid way to get lost in one big image. Take a look:
