Bilim Kurgu & Fantastik
With this satirical novella, English schoolmaster Edwin A. Abbott provides both a mathematical fantasy and pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. The narrator, A. Square, resides in the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland. When he is visited by a sphere, he is suddenly faced with proof of the existence of three dimensions and is forced to see the limitations of his world.
In a foreword to one of the many publications of this novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as “the best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions.” As such, this novella is still popular among mathematics, physics, and computer science students.

A wonderful book on the idea of dimensions.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. The fact that a book on beings from different dimensions was written in 1884 is mind-boggling but even more confusing is the way this book juat casually ridicules the strict gender roles of its era by presenting it as a lower, more primitive form of existence.Spoiler territory: I wonder if Abbott really believed that the god/s is/are just higher-dimensional being/s. His discussion on inhabitants of 3D Spaceland acting as gods of the 2D Flatland was interesting and very brave for his time.
