Highbrow is an interactive web-based visualization that plots the density of annotations from multiple sources (including dynamic full-text search) onto literary works. It provides a quick, high level overview of the areas of the text that are of most interest to different commentators or contain certain search terms, and then shows increasingly detailed information about these regions as the user zooms in.

Produced by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society
Filmed and Edited by Daniel Dennis Jones with Rocky Acosta
