«Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions» is the science fiction novel by Edwin A. Abbott (Dover Publications, 96 pages, paperback, English).
A square narrates his life in a flat two-dimensional world, where the number of sides establishes the social hierarchy. After glimpsing the existence of a higher dimension, he tries to share his discovery and clashes with the rigidity of a society that rejects what it cannot perceive. A text halfway between geometric popularization and social satire.
Complete edition from the Dover Thrift Editions collection; the original work was published in 1884.
Suitable for readers of classic science fiction and for those curious about mathematics and geometry.
Edwin Abbott Abbott was an English schoolmaster, theologian, and Anglican priest, best known as the author of the novella Flatland (1884).
