    "Since long I have dreamt of visualizing complex works of literature in a style such as the [XKCD movie narrative charts](https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/657:_Movie_Narrative_Charts) (inspiring [scientific projects](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-50106-2_30)). Previously I have performed basic experiments on the [Illuminatus Trilogy](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57913.The_Illuminatus_Trilogy) using [NLTK](http://www.nltk.org/), and now that we have been reading the [Phenomenology of Spirit](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9454.Phenomenology_of_Spirit?ac=1&from_search=true) it is an excellent candidate of illumination through analysis. \n",
