Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

Flatland: A Romance of Many DimensionsFlatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A somewhat interesting short book in which dimensionality is parsed into social relations to reflect the biases of human culture. The increase or decrease of dimensions is seen as a bad synthesis by others who would like to understand their own dimensionality in its limitations. An amusing idea.
