CAN WE
SHOW IT
Anytime you are dealing
with a theoretical topic or
a story that takes place
in the future (near or far)
the ļ¬rst question we
should ask is how can we
show the unshowable.
Giving readers a guide, in
this case a map, aids
their understanding of
the topic and allows
them to visualize the
content.
