Book 97 || Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott
Published in 1884, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a unique and thought-provoking novella that explores the nature of dimensions through the lens of social satire. Set in a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric shapes, the protagonist, A. Square, lives in a society where social hierarchy is determined by the number of sides a shape has. Circles are at the top, while women, who are simple line segments, are at the bottom. A. Square's perception of reality is challenged when he is visited by a sphere from Spaceland, a three-dimensional world, who introduces him to the concept of higher dimensions. Abbott uses this allegory to critique the rigid social structures of Victorian England, and the book is also an exploration of mathematical and philosophical ideas about dimensions and perception. Flatland has remained a classic, appreciated for both its clever narrative and its deep intellectual inquiries, inspiring mathematicians and scientists alike..
