Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
Sinopse
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella published in 1884 by Edwin Abbott Abbott. The story takes place in a two-dimensional world where geometric figures form society according to strict conventions. A Square experiences encounters with beings from other dimensions and, as he moves beyond his familiar reality, he gains perspective on higher and lower dimensional spaces. Along the way, the book uses the mathematical idea of dimensions to reflect on Victorian life, criticizing rigid class divisions and gender hierarchies. Despite his efforts to explain what he has seen, he is met with disbelief and ultimately faces imprisonment for sharing truths about dimensions beyond the two he knows.
