> What property makes the Hilbert curve desirable compared to, say, a snake pattern, with which neighbouring ISBNs are also neighbours in the visualisation? 2D neighbourhood is better than 1D one > The worry I have with Hilbert curves is that they make the result look like there are distinct "squares" of data that's the point, tho? instead of distinct lines of taken ISBNs in a row, you get distinct squares if taken ISBNs in a row - much more noticeable
