<p>In <i>Flatland</i> originally published in 1884 a humble square 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 plane.</p><p>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 as well as basic geometry. The story of <i>Flatland</i> at once ridiculous and profound delivers an incisive satire of social discourse that remains remarkably relevant today.</p>
