The map had been the first form of misdirection, for what was a map but a way of emphasizing some things and making other things invisible?
A map is just another story we tell—what we put on the map is the plot, the characters. What we leave off is what we don’t want in our story. Here’s a challenge—find a map of an area you don’t know and another of an area you don’t know. Can you tell what’s missing or over-emphasized on each? Can you build a profile of the mapmaker from the map?
