Info We Trust (Visionary Press, 2025) is an illuminating journey through the world of data storytelling. Join author RJ Andrews as he weaves a rich tapestry of insights, combining text and imagery to trace the evolution of data graphics from simple products of civilization to potent instruments of persuasion. With a storyteller’s flair, Andrews navigates narrative artistry and scientific inquiry to get at the heart of information design: creating meaning from space, time, and beyond. Featuring hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations and dotted with fascinating marginalia, Info We Trust is a visual feast that captures the essence and excitement of data storytelling.

RJ Andrews is a San Francisco data storyteller. By day, he tackles high-stakes problems for clients like The White House and Google. By night, he studies the history of charts, maps, and diagrams. The overlap between Andrews’ hands-on real-world practice and deep historical research gave rise to Info We Trust.
