From your shelf to your sky, in four moves.
No algorithms to tune, no preferences to set. You bring the books; BookSeeking does the reading-between-the-lines.
Search a title, scan a barcode, or paste a list. No star ratings, no quizzes — just the books that left a mark on you.
BookSeeking distils every book into the concepts it teaches — five to fifteen of them — each anchored to the Universal Decimal Classification, the international library taxonomy. Two books teaching the same idea collapse into one shared concept.
Those concepts, together with the people, places and eras inside them, form a constellation. The dim spaces between your stars are the things you haven't read yet.
Matches aim just past what you already know — mostly familiar, a little new — and reach you through four lenses: the Atlas, the Globe, Topics and Authors.
Two layers of understanding.
The concepts a title teaches, anchored to the library taxonomy. This is the layer that lets two books on the same idea recognise each other and find their shared readers.
For books we can read in full, every chapter is mapped to the concepts it carries — so we can point you to the exact chapter that fills a gap, even when the whole book would be redundant.
The math behind the ranking — curiosity gaps, optimal challenge, reading-style fit — is where the real care lives.
