Highly-engrossing read on what essentially is an application of n-dimensional logistical modelling[*] --originally IP-routing-derived, though not solely-- to the problem of "people-moving." (think of people as data-carrying self-propelled containers, it'll be easier to swallow ;-)). Presumably the shape of things to come much elsewhere.
