This document provides credits and acknowledges the contributions of many individuals involved in the creation of Worldmapper, an online atlas that uses cartograms to provide new perspectives on global issues. It outlines the history and development of Worldmapper, including future plans to create additional maps, use different map projections, and engage the public through educational outreach.

“Because our world is not the same as Othello's

you can't make tragedies without social
instability. The world's stable now. People are
happy; they get what they want, and they never
want what they can't get.”
(Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, 1932)
