Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

In FLATLAND, originally published in 1884, a humble square describes his two-dimensional world to benefit the inhabitants of Spaceland, the three-dimensional realm he discovers when he is visited by a being from beyond his plane.
With dry wit and wild imagination, author Edwin Abbott Abbott builds a meticulous fantasy world rooted in an astute apprehension of psychology, politics, and social structures, as well as basic geometry. The story of FLATLAND, at once ridiculous and profound, delivers an incisive satire of social discourse that remains remarkably relevant today.
