Game of Thrones: Death, Destruction and a Whole Load of Relationships Visualised

The Guardian points to Game of Thrones: death, destruction and a whole load of relationships visualised.

"Anyone that has picked up one of the books or watched an episode, knows that Game of Thrones features a lot of death, destruction and some rather complex relationships. Data visualisation designer Jérôme Cukier has attempted to visualise the events in every one of the popular fantasy books. To avoid a spoiler you can restrict the interactive to only show events in specific books. You can then hit the play button and watch the events unfold. Each link represents a kill and illustrates just how intertwining the plots are in George R.R Martin's novels. Each circle represents a character - sized according to appearances and most importantly, the colours show how they are faring."

It's pretty amazing and can be as spoilerful or spoilerfree as you want.
