In FLATLAND, originally published in 1884, a humble rectangular 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 airplane.

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, aswell as basic geometry. The story of FLATLAND, simultaneously ridiculous and deep, delivers an incisive satire of interpersonal discourse that remains extremely relevant today.
