Can anyone recommend a hard scifi/fantasy book that explicitly uses maps/diagrams/other illustrations as part of its "hardness"?

Title, I basically want to see a book that would be like a technical book on science or engineering or naval strategy if it weren't fiction.

Been a while since I read that, did it really have illustrations?

Jurassic Park has illustrations along the story that “explain” what chaos is. The book is significantly “harder” than the movie, I feel. Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for the suggestion, I have read jurassic park, though didn't like it for unrelated reasons

Can I ask you the reason? I really enjoyed it, but i read it in my teens and don’t remember much.

I don't really remember either, mostly just found it underwhelming and a waste of potential. Never watched the movies as a result.
