I want to point out this article from Cabinet magazine which is really interesting, despite being perhaps annoying self-referential, or 'so meta.' It is a timeline about timelines, or a summary of how people have organized chronological information in visual formats, over time...
below are some examples I really liked
"1876
Charles Renouvier's counterfactual Uchronie includes a chart depicting the theoretical relationship between the actual course of history and possible alternative paths."What might be happening and not be? What was almost happening? What will almost happen?
Laurence Sterne's novel, Tristram Shandy, includes a set of sketches indicating the non-linear path of a well-told story; narrative digressions appear as deviations from a straight line."
