«Planilandia» is the mathematical fantasy novel and social satire by Edwin A. Abbott, published by Laertes in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
In a two-dimensional world, geometric figures organize their society according to their shape and see only a line. That flat condition, which prevents looking up or down, serves as a metaphor for the narrow-mindedness of a hierarchical society; the satire reaches Victorian rigidity, inequality, and women's emancipation.
Volume 29 of the Laertes Aventura collection. Translated from English by Emili Olcina i Aya.
For general readers interested in classic science fiction, mathematics, and social satire.
Edwin Abbott Abbott was an English schoolmaster, theologian, and Anglican priest, best known as the author of the novella Flatland (1884).
