Flatland Edwin A. Abbott
"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" is a satirical novella by Edwin A. Abbott, first published in 1884. The story takes place in a two-dimensional world and follows the experiences of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of Flatland. As A. Square discovers the existence of a third dimension, the book delves into themes of dimensionality, hierarchy, and social constraints. Though it might seem like a straightforward mathematical or geometric allegory, "Flatland" also offers insightful commentary on the social and cultural mores of Victorian England.
