Seems to be nothing more than an ad for a book? Also, these things are usually called “Space-filling curves” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve).

EDIT: I missed the “Read Online” link - it is indeed a whole book about space-filling curves with lots of pictures.

Well, it looks like a nice book and you can read it online or download it (there's a link at the top). The "Brainfilling" title is probably a pun to make the title more interesting.

And with it's big colorful pictures it would make a great and nerdy cofee table book.

Nice, I forgot to search for alternate sources. It's a very nice gallery (with some maths too) of fractals, I'd be happy to have other sources for more complex and recent knowledge about them.

It's literally a button there. "Read Online".
