I wrote a while back about the eventual necessity for the internet to become beautiful. The trouble is that the things in the world we consider beautiful in an informational context — magazine and book layouts, typography, etc. — are necessarily limited in the information they have to present. It's this limitation, the known quantity aspect, that lets designers work effectively.How should you design something, then, that presents effectively limitless information (say, all the world's books) through a fairly limited medium (say, a web browser)? Google has one idea. Put them on a gigantic helix.
