Since ancient times we have used cartography to describe the world as a tidy set of measurable points, lines, areas and labels on a flat surface. But while the world keeps dissolving into an endless multiplication of self-representations, the map loses its reference and map making turns into an abstract exercise with nothing underneath.

So what do all those maps stand for now? Google is not the map is a small modification of Google Maps that asks exactly this, and quietly refuses to answer.
