Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions - 211

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by Edwin A. Abbott, first published in 1884. The story is set in a two-dimensional world called Flatland, inhabited by geometric figures. The protagonist, A. Square, is a humble square who guides readers through the social hierarchy of Flatland, where the number of sides determines one's social status. Women are simple line segments, while men range from triangles to polygons, with circles being the highest class. A. Square's perspective changes dramatically when he is visited by a three-dimensional sphere from Spaceland, who introduces him to the concept of a third dimension. This revelation challenges A. Square's understanding of reality and highlights the limitations of his two-dimensional perspective. The book explores themes of dimensions, social hierarchy, and the nature of reality, serving as both a mathematical exploration and a critique of Victorian society.
