Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a science fiction novel written by Edwin A. Abbott and first published in 1884. The story is set in a two-dimensional world called Flatland, where the inhabitants are geometric shapes such as squares, triangles, and circles. The narrator, a square named A. Square, describes the social hierarchy and customs of Flatland, where the number of sides determines one's class and occupation. One day, A. Square is visited by a sphere from the third dimension, who introduces him to the concept of higher dimensions. A. Square initially struggles to comprehend the idea of a third dimension, but eventually comes to understand it and begins to explore the possibilities of higher dimensions. Through A. Square's journey, the novel explores themes of perspective, perception, and the limitations of knowledge. It also critiques the rigid social structure of Flatland and the dangers of blindly accepting authority and tradition. Flatland has been praised for its imaginative world-building and its use of mathematical concepts to explore philosophical ideas. It has been adapted into various forms, including plays, films, and video games, and remains a classic of science fiction literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
