«A New Map of Wonders» is Caspar Henderson's popular science essay, published in 2018 by Granta Books in paperback (364 pages, in English).
From ancient medieval world maps, Henderson reflects on what astonishes us and why wonder matters: light, the origin of the universe, the human body, nature, and the technologies that will transform our perception, with contributions from philosophy, natural history, art, religion, neuroscience, and nanotechnology.
It is a sequel to The Book of Barely Imagined Beings (2012), also by Caspar Henderson. The original edition is from 2017; this one, from 2018.
Aimed at a general audience interested in popular science, philosophy, and natural history, and in reflections on wonder.
