Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott
QR code
"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a satirical novella published in 1884. The story takes place in a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric shapes, where social status is determined by the number of one's sides. When a Square encounters beings from other dimensions—including a one-dimensional Lineland and a three-dimensional Spaceland—his understanding of reality is profoundly challenged. Through this imaginative premise, Abbott satirizes Victorian class and gender hierarchies
while exploring the concept of dimensions beyond human perception. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
